Home FAQ Cost & budget

Are shared safaris cheaper?

Direct answer

Yes—join-in group road safaris from Kampala or Entebbe to Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth, or Murchison typically run 0–0 per person per day with 4–8 travellers sharing one vehicle and mid-range lodge, versus 0–0/day private. Trade-offs are fixed departure dates, shared meal times, and less flexibility. Gorilla permits (0) cost the same whether you join a group or book private.

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.
