  Is it possible to add chimpanzee trekking to the tour? How do the domestic flights work if they're not included? Do I book them myself before or during the trip?

    What is the best travel time period in 2027?
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2026

    Yes, we can certainly add a chimpanzee trekking experience to your trip. The current cost is EUR 155 per person (prices are subject to change).
    
    Regarding the domestic flights, there are no internal flights included in your itinerary. If you were referring to your flights to and from your destination, these are not included and will need to be booked separately by you.
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2026

    Yes, we can also arrange additional accommodation after your tour. For your selected departure (12 September 2026 – 8 October 2026), the finishing point hotel is Mizingani Seafront Hotel. A single room is currently EUR 140 per night, so two additional nights would be EUR 280 (prices are subject to change).

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2026

    As for the best time to travel in 2027, the dry season which is from June to September is generally considered the ideal time. In Uganda, the drier forest trails make gorilla trekking easier and provide better photography opportunities. In Kenya and Tanzania, wildlife gathers around water sources during the dry months, making game viewing excellent. The Serengeti also offers fantastic wildlife viewing, with the Great Migration typically visible somewhere within the ecosystem. Zanzibar enjoys pleasant beach weather with lower humidity during this period. November is also a possible time to travel, although it is the short rainy season, so you should expect occasional showers.

    What would be the approx price including single bed, chimpanzee trekking (without international flights)?
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2026

    Yes, we can arrange a single room throughout the trip, so you won't need to share with another traveller. It applies to all nights of the trip. It is subject to availability, and the current cost is EUR 665 (please note this price may change).
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2026

    As we don't have a specific departure selected yet, I'm not able to provide an exact total cost at this stage. However, if you are looking at departures in 2027, the trip price is currently expected to be around EUR 5,560–EUR 5,905. The single supplement would be around EUR 665, and the chimpanzee trekking experience is currently EUR 155 per person. This would bring the estimated total to approximately EUR 6,380–EUR 6,725, excluding international flights.

  i will be in Kampala on the 22nd/23rd of July and was wondering if it was possible to join from this point instead?

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2026

    I can check with our local team on if you can join a few days into the tour - they will be able to let us know where/when you may be able to meet up with the group. First - from the dates you've indicated below, it seems that you'd be looking to arrive either Day 5 or Day 6, is that right? Both of these days might be a bit tricker to join in on as you'll have to make your own way to where the group is and these spots are a bit more remote from Kampala. If you are able to join on Day 4 once the group arrives in Kampala, it may be the easiest entry point for you. One thing to mention as well, there are no refunds for unused services so we can look at having you join on whichever day but the price of the tour will still remain the same and it's your responsibility to make it to where the group is able to meet up.

    Hi there sorry for the delay, im still thinking of joing but watching the current situation. are you guys still running over this same time (July 18th?) the 21st could also be possible when and where do the group meet and i will see if i can get there on time (easier if evening)
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2026

    Yes, as of now all our Uganda trips are still running as scheduled, including the 18th July departure, and the 21st July option is also available. There is an ongoing Ebola outbreak reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with a small number of cases also in Uganda. We are closely monitoring the situation with guidance from global health authorities and government travel advisories. The safety of our travellers, teams, and local communities remains our top priority. To clarify, Intrepid does not operate trips in the DRC, and our Uganda itineraries are continuing to run as normal at this stage. However, this is a developing situation, and some countries may introduce entry or transit requirements such as screening or quarantine for travellers who have been in affected regions. We recommend checking your own government travel advice and any transit or onward travel requirements before you depart. Group meet-up is usually in the evening on Day 1 at the hotel, and full arrival instructions will be shared once your booking is confirmed.

    Having looked at the itinerary there are long days of travel and most over 5 to 7 hours as minimum, and so we may look at other options, and not this one

  Please describe the camping set up. Are these permanent tented camps that have an attached bathroom? Or is it a tent that is set up when we arrive with a common toilet facility some distance from the tent?

    In case you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, are you going to be wandering around the campsite alone, looking for a toilet? that wouldn't seem very safe.
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2023

    For the camping sections of this trip, there are options to upgrade which have private bathrooms inside. This will apply to all campsites apart from the Serengeti where no upgrades will be available but is flagged as a safe spot by the rangers. The shared washrooms are modern eco-friendly sanitary washrooms, and the camping grounds are well-lit.

    It means that eight people per day can only see each gorilla family. No one will miss visiting the gorillas because there are so many families.

    Is there any hidden additional costs to this trip such as Canadian Mandatory supplements of Mandatory Adventure Pass? Finally, does this overland trip offer an adventure accommodated tour or is it only possible in a camping tour?
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written October 2022

    The costs you see outlined on the site are inclusive of all necessary passes, transport and included activities. The only things you would have to consider beyond the shown price would be visa costs, and travel to and from the start and end of the trip. This trip is only available as a basix camping trip. As such, the accommodations are the campsites noted on the itinerary pages.
