Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything travellers usually ask before booking this safari.

Does Uganda alone really offer enough variety for eight days?

Yes — Uganda's parks are close enough together that this itinerary covers savanna wildlife, mountain gorillas, big-game viewing and chimpanzee trekking without ever repeating an experience.

Can Rwanda gorilla trekking be substituted for Bwindi?

Yes, though that adds a border crossing and typically a day or two — ask us about our combined Uganda & Rwanda itineraries if you'd like both countries.
