      Lisa

      Traveler•Written March 2026

      Can I book the flight back to Germany on the same day? If not, how much would it cost for the hotel and the transfer from hotel to airport on the next day?

    • Drifters Adventure ToursOperator•Written March 2026

      The pre-night at the Imperial Heights hotel costs EUR130.

    • Drifters Adventure ToursOperator•Written March 2026

      On the last day of the tour, the truck does drive back to Entebbe, the last stop being the Imperial Heights hotel, but they also make an airport stop for clients flying out on the very same day.

    • Drifters Adventure ToursOperator•Written March 2026

      You can book the flight back on the very same day, however we recommend that you book a very late flight as the truck only gets back in Entebbe in the late afternoon.

    Travel Support
    • Drifters Adventure ToursOperator•Written March 2023

      We need a minimum of 4 pax to confirm the tour, once the minimum numbers have been obtained, we will then apply for the permits on your behalf. On confirmation of the permit we will then send you the payment link to pay the permit company directly. In the very rare case that we are unable to get the permits we close off the tour, but like i said this very rarely happens.
