Fix the month and the length
These two settle most of the rest. When you go decides which half of the country is dry and whether permits are scarce, and how long you stay decides how much of it you can reach without spending the trip in a vehicle.
Work out what that costs
Conservation fees are fixed and every operator pays the same rate, so the difference between two quotes sits somewhere else. What a safari costs separates the layers, and gorilla trekking covers the permit that usually anchors the budget.
Send one enquiry
Once you know the month, the length and roughly the budget, open a safari that fits and write to the operator who runs it. Browse the safaris by park, activity or length, or start from the destination guides.
How an enquiry works
This site is a marketplace. It lists safaris sold by independent Ugandan tour operators and it does not run, book or sell any of them. There is no fee to you, nothing is booked here, and no payment passes through this site.
Sending one
Open the safari you are interested in and use the Enquire button on that page. Your message reaches that operator with the trip and your details attached, so they can come back with real dates and a real quote rather than a brochure.
What to tell them
Operators answer far more precisely when an enquiry includes your rough travel dates or the month you are aiming for, how many days you have on the ground, how many people are travelling and their ages, what you most want to see or do, and the kind of accommodation you prefer with a rough budget if you have one. The six guides above are the quickest way to arrive at those answers before you write.
What comes back
An outline itinerary, a note on which permits need securing first, and a breakdown of what is and is not included. Everything after that, including the quote, the booking and any payment, is between you and the operator.
Contacting the site
For anything about the site itself, a listing that looks wrong, or an enquiry that went unanswered, use the contact page or write to uganda@ugandasafaris.travel. For questions about a particular safari, contact the operator who sells it, through that safari’s page.
