Uganda safari questions, answered

How much does a Uganda safari cost?

Our Uganda packages on this page range from about $450 to $6,500 per person sharing, depending on length, lodges and season. The lowest-priced option is the 2 Days Mabamba Birding Safari from $450. Every itinerary can be adjusted to your dates and budget, and we only ask for a deposit once you are happy with the plan.

What is included in a Uganda safari package?

Typically all transport in a 4x4 safari vehicle, accommodation, meals as specified, park entry fees, permits such as gorilla or chimpanzee permits, an English-speaking driver-guide and airport transfers. International flights and travel insurance are usually not included; each tour page lists exactly what is in and out.

How many days do I need for a Uganda safari?

The tours on this page run from 2 to 12 days. Short trips focus on one park or one activity; 7 to 10 days lets you combine Bwindi Impenetrable (mountain gorillas), Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, Kibale (chimpanzees), Lake Mburo and Mgahinga without rushing.

When is the best time for a Uganda safari?

June to September and December to February are the drier months with easier roads and trekking; the green seasons (March to May, October to November) are quieter and often cheaper, with the same wildlife.

Can you customise a Uganda safari?

Yes. Every safari we run is tailor-made: you can add days, swap lodges, add a hot-air balloon flight or a cultural visit, or combine countries. Send us your dates and interests and we reply with a personalised itinerary within 24 hours, free and with no obligation.

Is Nature Nest Safaris a licensed operator?

Yes. Nature Nest Safaris is a licensed tour operator headquartered in Uganda, licensed by the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) and a member of the Association of Uganda Tour Operators (AUTO) and the Uganda Travel Agents Association (UTA).
