5. What is included in your safari package?

Most packages include accommodation, private transport in a 4x4 safari vehicle, professional guide, park entrance fees, game drives, and airport transfers. Some itineraries may also include meals, domestic flights, and special activities.

6. What is the best time to travel on safari?

The dry season from June to October is generally best for wildlife viewing. The green season offers lush scenery, fewer crowds, lower rates, and excellent photography opportunities.

7. Can you arrange gorilla permits?

Yes. We help secure gorilla trekking permits in Uganda and Rwanda, subject to availability. Since permits are limited, early booking is strongly recommended.

8. Is gorilla trekking difficult?

Gorilla trekking can be easy, moderate, or challenging depending on the terrain and the location of the gorilla family. A reasonable fitness level is helpful, and guides work to make the experience manageable and rewarding.

9. Are safaris safe?

Yes. Your safety is our priority. We work with experienced guides, trusted lodges, reliable vehicles, and carefully planned itineraries to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.

10. Can families travel on safari?

Absolutely. We design family-friendly safaris with suitable lodges, child-friendly activities, flexible schedules, and comfortable travel arrangements for all ages.

11. How far in advance should I book?

For gorilla trekking and peak travel months, booking 6 to 12 months in advance is ideal. Earlier booking gives better access to permits, lodges, and preferred travel dates.

12. How do I start planning my safari?
