Gorilla and chimp permits (USD 800 and USD 250) are often included in quoted prices — always confirm. Exclusions typically cover international flights, visa (USD 50), travel insurance, alcoholic drinks, tips, porters (USD 15–20), and optional activities like Kazinga boat cruise (USD 30).

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit.
