Safari FAQ

Are Safaris in Uganda Safe for Your Clients?

Uganda is recognized as one of the most stable countries in East Africa, making it a prime destination for your clients seeking peace of mind during their travels. With its welcoming atmosphere and secure environment, Uganda offers a safe safari experience. From arrival to departure, your clients will be cared for by a dedicated team, ensuring that every need is met. After thrilling days of wildlife viewing, your clients can unwind at carefully selected lodges and camps that blend authentic African charm with modern luxury, providing both comfort and safety.

Will My Clients Have Opportunities to Engage with Local Communities in Uganda?

Many of our safaris offer unique, immersive experiences where your clients can visit local villages and interact with the people of Uganda. If these cultural visits are not part of the itinerary, your clients will still have the chance to gain valuable insights into Ugandan life through their expert local guides. Our guides are natives of Uganda, offering your clients an authentic understanding of local culture and traditions, enriching their safari experience.

What clothing should my clients pack for a safari?

The weather in East Africa can vary widely, so we recommend lightweight, breathable fabrics for daytime and warmer layers for early mornings and evenings. Neutral-colored clothing (such as khaki or olive green) is ideal, as it blends well with the environment and avoids drawing attention from wildlife.

A waterproof jacket is also recommended for unexpected rain showers. Don’t forget mosquito-repellent clothing for the evening game drives. A pair of comfortable shoes for walking safaris is essential.
