Home FAQ Planning & logistics

Can I combine Kenya with Uganda safari?

Direct answer

Yes — a popular 10–14 day circuit flies Nairobi–Entebbe (roughly 1 hour) to add Bwindi mountain gorillas (USD 800 permit) and Kibale chimps (USD 300) to a Mara or Amboseli safari. The USD 100 East Africa Tourist Visa covers both countries. Kenya delivers savanna Big Five and migration; Uganda adds primates, Murchison Falls boat cruises, and tree-climbing lions at Ishasha.

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.
