Know Your Travel time;

Its important to know when you want to travel as timing is everything because some safari experiences in Uganda depend on natural occurrences like seasonal rainfalls.  Some activities  like gorilla and chimpanzee tracking and mountain hiking’s cant be done during heavy rain seasons. Always book your safari holiday in June, July, August and December, January and February and always book your safari package 12 months in advance.

Uganda has many national parks and game reserves that each offers different experiences therefore, knowing what you are interested most to see on safari will enable tour operator to tailor the itinerary precisely.

Planning safari holiday to Uganda is not cheap as there are lots of logistics involved. Having budget estimate will help to guide the tour operator while curating the itinerary  that meets your budget estimates.

Know your Travel style;

Travel style involves type of accommodation, group size etc. knowing how you intend to travel is important. For example, If you have very low budget then set group departures can be fit for you, travel style also involves private safari for example if you are planning honeymoon, need private charter flight. Knowing and sharing your travel style with tour operator will make your holiday more organized with memorable safari experience.

Choose a reliable tour operator;

Choosing experienced and reliable tour operator like Four Crane Safaris is very important task that you should concentrate on. Book your safari with tour company which has experienced tour guides and drivers as well as experienced safari consultants. Do not look for very cheap tour operator below the average. The cheapest Uganda wildlife package for couple is $1100 which is 3 days Murchison falls tour. Do not book with tour operator that tells you to pay deposit into through western union or personal bank account.
