Home FAQ Cost & budget

Can I do Uganda safari under $1000?

Direct answer

A full Uganda safari under ,000 is unrealistic if gorillas are included—the permit alone is 0. Without gorillas, a 3-day budget group road safari to Queen Elizabeth or Murchison (0–0/day) can approach 0–0 pp sharing, but international flights, visa (), tips, and transfers from Entebbe push most first-time visitors well above ,000 total.

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.
