Fly-in safari vs road safari?

Direct answer

Botswana Okavango camps are fly-in only—0–700 per bush flight leg; Uganda's Bwindi or Queen Elizabeth loop covers 400–500 km of road from Entebbe in 8–10 hours versus a 1-hour charter.

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.
