How much does a fly-in Uganda safari cost?

Direct answer

Fly-in circuits add 0–0 per AeroLink leg (Entebbe–Kihihi or Kisoro, ~1 hour 15 minutes) but save two full road days to Bwindi. A 5-day fly-in gorilla safari with mid-range lodge, permit, and private transfers runs roughly ,400–,800 pp; luxury fly-in packages with Sanctuary or Clouds push ,000–,000 pp excluding international flights.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit.
