Uganda offers excellent value compared to other safari destinations in East Africa.  You see this in many areas, especially park fees and accommodation.

For example, park entry fees are generally lower than in Rwanda, Tanzania, and Kenya. In Serengeti National Park of Tanzania, entry fee is $70 per 24 hours. In Uganda, fees are lower. 

In Queen Elizabeth National Park – the country’s most popular park – you pay USD 40 per 24 hours. 

Accommodation in Uganda also offers strong value. Uganda has many high-quality mid-range lodges at reasonable prices. In Kenya or Tanzania, similar properties often cost $50 to $100 more per night.

Aside from Uganda being cheaper, you also get more for your money. Uganda is more diverse. Here, you can enjoy a classic safari, just like in Kenya and Tanzania, but we have much more to offer. 

In Uganda, for example, you can track wild mountain gorilla and chimpanzees on foot in dense rainforest jungles. You can go white water rafting on the Nile – the longest river on Earth. 

You can cycle around or walk through national parks. We have savannas, rainforest jungles, snow-capped mountains, volcanoes, lakes, and wetland.  

Moreover, people of Uganda are very nice people. Ugandans are warm and friendly. Last but not least: there is no mass tourism in Uganda. As a result, it almost feels as if you have the Uganda National Parks entirely to yourself. The experience feels more personal and authentic.

In short: in Uganda, you get more for less money, without compromising on experience.
