What is the cheapest Uganda safari?

Direct answer

The lowest-cost option is a 3–4 day group gorilla departure from Kampala or Kigali — roughly USD 1,200–1,800 per person sharing including the USD 800 permit, budget lodge, and shared 4×4. April, May, and November offer discounted USD 600 gorilla permits. Camping safaris in Queen Elizabeth or Murchison start around USD 150–200 per person per day excluding permits.

Overview

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