What makes Uganda safaris so special?

We could write a book about Uganda and everything special about the country, but we will keep it short. 

Uganda has it all. Mountain gorillaschimpanzees, the Big Five and 50% of Africa’s total bird species. But also, stunning scenery and a beautiful, rich culture. 

Uganda is a tourist destination, but there is no mass tourism like in Kenya and Tanzania. This makes for a truly authentic experience. It almost feels like you have one of the most beautiful places on earth all to yourself. Moreover, you can visit Uganda year-round – it is beautiful in both the rainy and dry seasons.

how much does a Uganda safari cost?

You can make your Uganda safari very luxurious and expensive, but you can also make it more affordable. Most of the trips we organize fall somewhere in between. We offer great locations, excellent tour guides, safe transportation, and delicious meals. For example, for a very a complete safari including accommodation in nice lodges, a vehicle, guide, meals, and park fees, you should budget around USD 4,152 to 5,932 per person. 

The exact budget depends on the content of your trip (a gorilla permit, for example, is quite expensive) and your group size. If you’re traveling with a whole family, five of you, for example, the trip becomes cheaper per person.

Questions about Uganda Safari Tours

Is it safe to travel to Uganda?

Uganda is largely considered a safe country. Our Uganda safaris and tours generally avoid areas considered unsafe. During our safari in Uganda, you will always be accompanied by an experienced driver guide. They know the roads well and will only stop where it is safe to do so. Read more here: Safety in Uganda.

Before traveling to Uganda, it’s important to get the recommended vaccinations and take precautions. A yellow fever vaccine is required for entry. Vaccines for Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio (DTP) and Hepatitis A are also recommended. Bring mosquito repellent and consider malaria prevention medication. It’s best to consult a travel medicine specialist in your home country before your trip to Uganda.

The best time to travel to Uganda is from December to February and from June to September. These are the mostly dry seasons. However, even during the dry season, a short but heavy tropical downpour can still occur. Uganda is generally a good safari destination year-round, as long as you keep in mind a few limitations imposed by the climate. Want to know more? Read more:  Best time to visit Uganda
