You will likely see animals such as zebras, impalas, topis, warthogs, bushbucks, duikers, and waterbucks. If you are lucky, you may also spot buffaloes or elands, though these are more rare sightings. The number and variety of animals can change depending on the season and weather, as they move in search of fresh grass.
Watching wildlife on foot is calm and special, offering a very different experience from a game drive. After the walking safari, you will transfer back to Entebbe Airport for your departure.
