Uganda Safari Prices & Official UWA Permit Costs (2026)
Planning a safari in Uganda requires understanding two main cost components: the official wildlife tracking permits mandated by the government, and the cost of your tailor-made safari package. Below is the transparent breakdown of our 2026 pricing structure.
Booking Policy & UWA Conservation Notice: All tracking permits are regulated directly by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). To guarantee permit availability and maintain our highest service standards, we are prioritizing serious booking inquiries for the 2026 season only. Please note that we are currently disregarding requests for very distant dates (next year) to focus exclusively on concrete, near-term travel plans.
