For your safari at Queen Elizabeth National Park we advise you book the safari through a tour operator and also get a car plus driver because the park most times does not offer cars for the game drives. Also tour operators can easily secure your entry tickets and make all the other payments on your behalf.
You should know that the park opens at 7am and closes at 7pm so plan your safari around that. If you are planning to stay in the park, this will not be a problem because you are already in the park. However, if you are staying outside, these times are important to remember.
