Afternoon – Boat Safari on the Kazinga Channel:

At the end of the boat safari, we take you on the Katwe Explosion Crater Drive. This is definitely one of the most scenic drives in Uganda.
That time of the day, before sunset, the lighting conditions will be right for great photo-ops. Some of the craters were featured in National Geographic.
The Explosion Crater Drive is at the highest point in the park. From here, you see the beautiful craters and crater lakes. The breathtaking Western Rift Escarpment and the Savannah below. There is Lake Edward, Lake George, and the Kazinga Channel. Shadowing over it all are the Rwenzori Mountains of the Moon, the tallest Mountain Range in Africa.
Large Elephant herds, Buffaloes and antelopes are seen up here. TWA Airlines had a poster in the 1950s that had the mountains of the Moon, the savannah and the explosion crater ridge in a poster that advertised traveling to Uganda.
