Factors To Consider When Booking A Budget Uganda Safari

Booking an affordable safari in Uganda requires little thought to several aspects. The elements to take into account while making a Uganda Budget Safari reservation are covered below.

1. Your Travel Agency

Booking via a travel agency or choosing for well-known providers is one error you should never make. Famous tour operators have established a name for themselves and will always charge an absurd amount for a trip. On the flip side, your safari will also be profitable to a travel agent.

Looking up operators online is your best bet. An other option is to make reservations with these suggested hiking companies. In this case – Kabira Safaris & Tours Africa

Check that the company you book with is located in Uganda or Rwanda. Book your gorilla safari with no firm outside of Rwanda and Uganda, not even one in Kenya or Tanzania.

The best price will usually come from the local tour companies because they have little overhead.

2. Choosing a Destination

Budget safaris to Uganda are ideal if you want to enjoy the rainforest and the savannah in one location without having to transfer countries. Being a more fordable alternative by many is one of the several benefits of visiting Uganda; lesser crowds in the park and lodges are another.

3. Choice of Accommodation

Your safari is mostly dependent on the gorilla safari hotels. We would advise you to reserve cozy lodging. Your holiday will be ruined if you let your tour operator reserve too inexpensive accommodations.

You go tracking, then come back to your lodge to unwind, and if your lodging is uncomfortable, you won’t have the enjoyment of your trip that you should have.

4. Your Safari Car

While a Land Cruiser costs between $250 and $300 per day, a safari van is typically quoted at $100. Your tour company will determine this as some charge less. Still, the price mentioned above is typical in the sector.

Choose a safari van, if possible really customized. Sometimes these vehicles are supposed to be more comfy than land cruisers.

Check that they are 4-wheel drive only, not 2-wheel drive. There are instances when Ugandan roads become muddy, hence a 4WD safari car is highly advised.

5. Number of Days

Spending will be less the fewer days you have. Safaris lasting two to three days cannot be as expensive as those lasting five to ten days.

might viewing gorillas be your primary goal, you might think about and book a three-day Gorilla Trekking Uganda from Kigali.

Given the close proximity of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to Kigali, guests can now more easily arrive in Kigali and transport to Bwindi on the same day as they would hike gorillas and return to Kigali. Gorillas can be seen in two days on a tight budget in this way.

6. Where You Arrive From

Getting here from Uganda is a little expensive. You cannot get to Bwindi and back on the same day unless your flight arrives before 0700.

We would also not advise doing this. After spending six to eight hours on a plane, picture arriving and having to travel for another eight to ten hours to reach Bwindi. In either case, you would have to stay a day or two in Entebbe or Kampala before moving on to Bwindi the next day.

The fact that you will have to pay for lodging, food, and the airport shuttle in addition to possible additional expenses makes this expensive.

Where then ought you to be coming from? Your best bet is to fly into Kigali and then drive to Bwindi. From Kigali to Bwindi, including a stopover, takes around 4–5 hours. You won’t have to pay for lodging the first night since you can get there and be transferred to Bwindi the same day.

We examine a number of factors while organizing a Budget Safari Uganda for our clients, these being only a couple. How to get about, the kind of travel paperwork needed, whether any vaccinations are advised, safety, and many other things are also important. We offer thoroughly stated Uganda Travel Tips so you won’t forget anything important or equipment for your trip.
