Get some time to freshen up and relax as you wait for lunch and another adventure that awaits you on the Kazinga channel later in the afternoon, you will be amazed at the prolific bird life at this point and the large concentration of hippos and other animals like elephants, buffaloes that come to quench their thirst or cool off from the hot afternoon sun.
