FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Helpful answers before you send an inquiry.

Is this good for birders?

Yes. Bigodi and Queen Elizabeth are both excellent birding areas and make the trip feel richer than a simple primate-only route.

How much driving is involved?

The route is compact by Uganda standards and works well for travellers who want a shorter safari with strong wildlife variety.

Can I add gorillas?

Yes. We can extend the route to Bwindi or rework it into a longer primate loop.
