How would we travel between destinations?

Is this a new tour, I can't seem to find any reviews for

I want to know if this is a single occupancy accommodation for a solo traveler

Accommodation on tour is twin share with another client of the same sex. If we have no other 'same sex solo travellers' in the group then client will have single accommodation at no additional cost. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee that at time of booking.

Could you tell me what types of accommodations are available? Are there tents? Hostels? Lodges?

Accommodation on tour is simple twin rooms in hostel/ simple hotels most rooms with ensuite.

Exactly what are the accommodations and exactly what kind of transport?

Accommodation is in simply and rustic accommodation - it is not a 4-5 star lodge tour. Transport is by 24 seat safari truck, (we carry 16 people at a maximum). The trek to the gorillas is conducted with Uganda Wildlife Authority guides.

Is it possible for a 15 years old to come on this tour?

These tours are only for 18+ years.

1/2 Zimmer oder was wäre der Preis für 1 Person?

The 9-day Gorillas & Nile River Encounter Adventure Accommodated Tour makes use of twin share accommodation. Rooms are basic with en-suite facilities, but from time to time some rooms may be shared facilities. The price is per person sharing - which means you will share the room with another Acacia client of the same gender.

I would need a single accommodation, please let me know if it's possible on this tour.

Unfortunately we do not offer Single Supplements on any Adventure-style tours. You would be sharing a twin bed room/chalet with a fellow solo traveller of the same sex.

What is the type of accommodation used?

The accommodation is based on staying in twin share cabins on the camping grounds. If you would prefer there is an option to camp in tents instead, please contact our team of travel experts to find out more information in regards to this option.
