Driving through the Savannah Parks in the safari a vehicles is known as Game-drive.

Game drives are one of the highlights of any Uganda safari and are most rewarding in the early mornings and late evenings of the day. So a game drive basically means driving with a safari vehicle in national parks and wildlife reserves searching for the big game. Safari Game drives involve going into the savannah plains of the national parks with a four WD vehicle with every game drive lasting from 2-3 hours to a full day’s excursion and sometimes wrapped up with a bush breakfast.

A Game drive safari can be combined with other safari activities like Gorilla tracking, Gorilla Habituation Experience, Chimpanzee trekking and habituation, mountaineering, nature walks and bird watching safaris that are all possible on your tour in Uganda.

Game drives normally start early in the morning at around 6 a.m. since this is when animals are most active, you will go on two game drives per day while on safari where you will spot lions and hyenas hunting, vultures feeding on leftovers of predators, watch elephants, giraffes, and lots of antelopes that include the Uganda Kobs among others. Morning game drives start at 7am and evening game drives start at 4pm alongside a Tour guide or an armed park Ranger to accompany you into wildlife viewing of the tree climbing lions, the warthogs, elephants, giraffes, buffalo herds, ostriches, hyenas, zebras and birds.
