Planning your trip: frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about preparing for your journey to Uganda, from tracking permits and best travel months to safety and accommodation.

When is the best time of year to visit Uganda?

Uganda is a year-round safari destination. The best dry seasons for gorilla trekking and wildlife viewing run from December to February and June to September, when trails are firmer and animals gather at waterholes.

How do gorilla trekking permits work?

Gorilla tracking permits are strictly managed by the Uganda Wildlife Authority to ensure conservation. We secure your official permits well in advance as part of your bespoke safari package.

How long does it take to plan an itinerary?

After you submit our quick 60-second questionnaire, our safari specialists typically reach out within 24 hours via email or WhatsApp with an initial tailor-made itinerary and pricing estimate.

Can you cater to specific budgets and group sizes?

Yes, absolutely. We design trips for solo travellers, couples, families, and larger groups, offering options ranging from comfortable mid-range safari lodges to exclusive luxury tented camps.

What should I pack for a primate tracking trek?

Sturdy, broken-in walking boots, lightweight waterproof layers, long trousers, gardening gloves to navigate vegetation, and insect repellent are essential for a comfortable rainforest trek.

Is Uganda safe for international travellers?

Uganda is renowned as one of Africa's most welcoming and politically stable nations. All guided game drives and treks in national parks are accompanied by licensed Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers.
