Day 3: Transition to Queen Elizabeth National Park via Ishasha Region

Begin your day with an early breakfast before driving to Ishasha, the southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Your route depends on current conditions, as your driver has advised. During a game drive in Ishasha, look out for its famed tree-climbing lions.
