We use simple, clean and centrally located accommodation and include plenty of free time so you can do the things that suit your budget and interests.

Why Choose A Budget Uganda Safari?
Uganda is a great choice for budget travelers as safaris here costs less and offers more variety than other East African countries of Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. The country is a beautiful mix of open savannah and lush forest, giving you many different experiences in one trip.
Uganda is also smaller, so you can easily travel between parks by road and save money on local flights. You can join affordable camping safaris, or stay in comfortable mid-range hotels.
Self-drive safaris are also becoming popular for travelers who like freedom and adventure. Most visitors come to Uganda to see mountain gorillas. This activity is expensive, but the experience is truly special and worth the cost. A gorilla trekking permit costs about US$800—almost half the price of the same experience in Rwanda.
