Costs, Permits, and Logistics

Confirm current fees when you book — tariffs are set by national park authorities and can change by season or residency status.

  • Kibale Forest chimp tracking permits are $250; Kyambura Gorge and Budongo offer lower-cost alternatives.
  • Chimp encounters are on foot with ranger guides — tracking usually lasts 2–4 hours.
  • Permits and park fees are fixed; savings usually come from lodge tier, vehicle sharing, and season.
  • All-inclusive packages clarify what is bundled versus paid locally (tips, drinks, optional activities).
  • Queen Elizabeth NP entry is about $40/day; Murchison Falls about $45/day (foreign non-resident rates).
  • Road transfers are long — AeroLink flights to Kihihi/Kisoro save a full day on gorilla circuits.
