Frequently Asked Questions
What's the absolute best way to experience the wildlife around Tilenga Safari Lodge?
We always recommend combining a morning game drive with an afternoon boat cruise on the Nile. The game drives offer incredible chances to spot lions and elephants, while the boat trip gets you up close to hippos, crocodiles, and a dazzling array of birdlife.

While the game drives and boat cruises are essential, we highly recommend trying your hand at fishing on the Nile if you have the chance. It's a surprisingly peaceful and rewarding experience.
