    Asked on November 17th, 2025

    Do/can you arrange pick up at Entebbe Airport? Cost? Do the tents we stay in have fans or air cons? What will the temps be at this time of year in Uganda, which I imagine will be hot at this time of year.

    Accommodation
    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025

      Yes we pick up from Entebbe airport for this trip, no problem. We do not have weather details in our notes, but as it will be summer, yes it will be hot. We would recommend checking weather information online. We will have to check with our local office to see if there are fans/air conditioning in the tents.

    • J

      Jerry

      Traveler•Written November 2025

      I've noticed temps in Uganda can be in the 30s Celsius in Feb. Are the vehicles we travel in air-conditioned?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025

      The vans will be air-conditioned, yes.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025

      The local office have advised that the start hotel has air conditioning. The tents used for camping have fans apart from camping in Bwindi Impenetrable NP. This area is cold, so they do not have fans in the tents

    • J

      Jerry

      Traveler•Written November 2025

      How much will the Canary Hotel be in Kampala per night. I may arrive 2 - 3 days early. Any idea of grade of rafting....at 72 I don't want to die on my first day in Uganda!!! Visas - Are they best got individually or can I get a combined East African one?

    • J

      Jerry

      Traveler•Written November 2025

      My yellow fever vaccination card is 50 years old. At 72 years of age it's not recommended to have a yellow fever vaccination due to possible side effects. How do you guys get around that? What's the risk of not be granted an entry visa?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025

      Under World Health Organization guidelines, a single full-dose Yellow Fever vaccination is valid for life, even if it was given 50 years ago. At 72, it's also true that the vaccine is generally not recommended due to increased risk of side effects, which is why many travellers in your age group enter Uganda and Rwanda using a medical waiver instead of a new vaccination. What you can do: > Visit your doctor or travel clinic and request a Yellow Fever medical waiver stating the vaccine is not advisable due to age. > Present the waiver together with your original Yellow Fever card on arrival. > Both Uganda and Rwanda routinely accept these waivers, and with the correct documentation, the risk of issues at entry is very low.

    Asked on September 13th, 2025

    I saw this tour advertised for AU$5,324 last weekend and on Wednesday morning. I thought I had until 16th September to book so left it for today and now it is saying $7099. I just wanted to check is there any more fares for $5324.

      Danielle

      Traveler•Written September 2025

      Do you know if there will be any upcoming changes to the price for the 13 December departure Uganda to Rwanda: Gorilla Treks & Safari Drives trip. I'm upset I didn't book it last weekend or even Wednesday morning. It was AU$5,324 on the 31st August and on the 10th September. Because it was written 'Hurry, deals only available for a limited time! Ends on 16 Sep, 2025' I thought I had until 16th sept to book it.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025

      Please be advised that the sale notification appears on all tour description pages, even if a specific tour is not discounted. This is a site-wide notification that is applied across the entire website. If a tour does not display a red tag with a percentage discount on the list of departures, it likely means that this particular tour is not included in the current sale cycle. Please also note that prices may fluctuate due to currency exchange rates. We recommend booking your tour sooner rather than later to avoid the risk of the price increasing over time.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025

      Tour pricing can indeed fluctuate as we receive updates directly from G Adventures. Sometimes, it can take a little while for the pricing to correctly adjust on our end. The January 31st departure is currently available at a reduced price! We highly recommend booking this alternative departure date to enjoy this fantastic offer. As tour prices adjust similarly to airfares, you might also consider placing a 48-hour hold on your spot. This is a wonderful way to secure both your place and the current price free of charge for 48 hours.
