What is included in African safari packages?

Direct answer

Standard safari packages typically include accommodation, full-board meals (three daily), park entry fees, a private 4×4 with pop-up roof, professional driver-guide, and scheduled game drives. Exclusions are usually international flights, visas ( Uganda e-visa, 0 East Africa Tourist Visa), travel insurance, alcoholic drinks, laundry, and premium activities—gorilla permits (0), hot-air balloons (0+ in the Mara), and domestic flights (AeroLink from ~3) are often quoted separately. Always request a written inclusions list before paying a deposit.

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.
