Are private African safaris available?

Direct answer

Private safaris are standard across East Africa—a dedicated 4x4, driver-guide, and flexible daily schedule cost roughly 0–0/day for the vehicle plus park fees and lodging. Uganda gorilla trekking assigns your own UWA ranger group (up to 8 trekkers per gorilla family), and private charter flights between parks replace crowded overland legs on luxury circuits.

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.
