Is this a group tour or a private tour. If group, how many in the group and how many people in your safari vehicle? (we prefer small group tours)

This is a private tour. It will be only you (2) + the 1 assigned Tour Driver-guide. The guide will be with you from pick up to drop off.

Can you please provide the names of the accommodations to the hotels/lodges, etc.? Also, would it be possible to upgrade the accommodations if we wanted to?

The above properties fall in the 3 or 3.5-star category. However, they are clean, with good service and all come with en suite facilities (i.e. private toilet, bathroom). Beds are all fitted with mosquito nets. If looking for simple, clean and comfortable places to stay, the above are just fine. But if looking beyond that, then upgrade will be needed. Beware! The upgrade to another level accommodation facilities will lead to very significant rise in quote.

I am interested in this tour. I am a solo traveller but I can join the group. I would like to travel in July, Can you inform me about the possibilities?

Yes, it is still possible to go on this safari in the month of July. As a solo traveler, you won't share the safari vehicle. You will be assigned a Professional English-speaking Tour Driver-guide and a 4x4 safari car. At the accommodations you will stay in your private room with en suite facilities. The quote is USD 5633 for solo traveler. This includes park entrance fees, rhino tracking fee, bottled water, all airport/hotel pick-ups and drop offs, Bwindi Gorilla trekking permit, Kibale Chimp trekking permit, and all activities as stipulated in the itinerary.

I need to correct the dates as soon as possible. How can I do it? I also would like to ask the approximate time we will back to Entebbe on the last day of the safari. I need to plan accordingly for my flight back to the USA.

As of this writing, there is no other person that is confirmed for this trip. That means at the moment, it is only you confirmed for this trip. Implication: If it stays this way and no one joins you, it means you will be required to pay for single supplement which is USD 1542 in addition to the USD 3908. In total, that will be USD 5450. May you confirm if you agree to this? If you agree, then our Reservations Team can proceed with the arrangement. Otherwise, we will be unable to proceed.

You want to see animals, you will see plenty. The gorilla trek was incredible, but you do need a basic fitness level.

This was a true back country Uganda safari. You want to see animals, you will see plenty. The gorilla trek was incredible, but you do need a basic fitness level to make the trek. It is not for weak or those with poor mobility or breathing problems. The roads we travelled would be considered impassable in many first world nations so don't expect a smooth ride. But the driver/guide provided us was excellent, really knew Uganda and the tour. It truly is a Trip of a Lifetime and I would highly recommend that for serious travelers looking for a unique experience. Food was excellent, Rooms were variable with some great, others questionable.Show more

  Is there electricity in all the accommodations - I use a CPAP machine at night?
- Home to AfricaOperator•Written September 2025
  You still fall in the accepted age group. Most of the activities are not strenuous and that should be just fine with your age. It is the gorilla trekking that is strenuous but we have seen a great number of 70-year old finish successfully. You do not need extreme physical fitness but a good level of physical fitness should see you (both) through.
- Home to AfricaOperator•Written September 2025
  The trek for gorillas may take between 2-6 hours (before actual encounter) depending largely on the movement of the gorillas. The chance of encounter is 99%. Once with the gorillas, you will be allowed an hour of encounter which is so heartwarming and simply, unforgettable.
- Home to AfricaOperator•Written September 2025
  Tipping has been and is always a difficult one to say (for sure) as it depends largely on the level of gratitude one has felt for the service rendered, and of course the budget or one's generosity too. Nonetheless, it could be USD 10, 15, 20, etc. per day but put together (for driver-guide) and give at the end as you say 'Goodbye'.
- Home to AfricaOperator•Written September 2025
  Yes, A good number of lodges have electricity (either solar or direct from the national grid) to run the machine. Alternatively, they can use a power generator. In situations where the use of a generator is required, the facility may request for some funds (in the range 50-100$) to facilitate buying fuel enough to run the generator overnight.
