Costs, Permits, and Logistics

Confirm current fees when you book — tariffs are set by national park authorities and can change by season or residency status.

• Queen Elizabeth NP entry is about $40/day; Murchison Falls about $45/day (foreign non-resident rates).
• Road transfers are long — AeroLink flights to Kihihi/Kisoro save a full day on gorilla circuits.
• Build routes to reduce backtracking — primate parks, savanna parks, and flights should align by sector.
• Buffer days after gorilla treks help if hikes run long or weather delays bush flights.

Sample Itinerary Shape

Most travellers anchor the trip around one flagship experience (gorilla trek, migration, or Big Five loop), then add supporting nights for chimps, boat safaris, or cultural stops. Avoid stacking long drives on the same day as a primate trek.
