Your dates, group size and preferred comfort level shape the itinerary. Start with these common planning questions.
Ask our planning teamShould I choose Uganda or Rwanda?
Uganda works well for a longer trip combining gorillas, chimpanzees and wildlife. Rwanda offers shorter routes from Kigali. We can compare travel time, permits and lodges for your dates.
When should I start planning?
Contact us as early as you can. Gorilla permits are limited for each date, and the route and lodge choices need to fit the available trekking destination.
Can you tailor a listed itinerary?
Yes. Tell us your interests, travel dates, number of travellers and budget range. We can recommend changes to the route, activities and accommodation.
How much will my safari cost?
The quotation depends on group size, permits, travel dates, transport and accommodation. Ask for a written quote with a clear list of inclusions before booking.
