Can I combine Uganda with Tanzania?

Direct answer

Yes — fly Entebbe–Kilimanjaro (JRO) or via Nairobi for 12–14 day combos: Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro (7 days) plus Uganda's Bwindi gorillas (USD 800 permit) and Queen Elizabeth savanna (USD 40/day). Two separate visas are required (Tanzania e-visa USD 50, Uganda USD 50 online); book Uganda gorilla permits 6–12 months ahead for June–September peak.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
