Top Ten East Africa Classic Adventures

Hungry hippo
Open wide: Hippos aren't as docile as they seem (John Beattie)

Ever seen just how big a hippo is? Take a launch trip along the Kazinga Channel in the scenic Queen Elizabeth National Park in southwestern Uganda and find out! The narrow channel is home to hundreds of hippos, which submerge and surface in a gush of air and bubbles right around the launch as it cruises gently along near the shore. It's easy to appreciate why you should never get between these guys and the water. The launch trips run four times daily and can be booked at the Mweya Safari Lodge in the park.
