Airport
Most guests to Uganda arrive by air, landing at Entebbe International Airport; approximately 45 minutes drive from the capital Kampala. Transfers to and from the airport are available for any size group. Please request transfers before hand by calling or emailing us in time, or you can request the same at the time of booking your safari.

Insurance
When you’re planning your next trip, it is unlikely that travel insurance will be the first thing on your mind. However, at some point in your travel plans, it is essential that you make travel insurance a priority and that you take some time to consider your insurance cover needs while you are on your trip.

What to pack
Uganda has a predominantly warm climate all year round and because it lies on the equator seasonal temperature differences are insignificant. However one should consider the rainfall patterns, especially if they plan on hiking or mountaineering. The wettest months are April, May, October and November. The drier months can be pretty dusty and light colours should be avoided.

Clothing
Light summer clothing supplemented by a sweater or jacket should be sufficient all year round. Usually dressing is informal. Cotton slacks and flat-heeled comfortable walking shoes are recommended on safari.

Don’t forget to bring a hat for sun protection and a swimsuit. For mountain climbers, you will need hiking boots. Umbrella and windbreakers are recommended in the wet seasons. For gorilla and chimpanzee tracking safaris, we recommend that you carry some insect repellents and torches. If you are planning to visit church services or official functions, it isrecommended to bring some smart clothes.

Food and water
We recommend that you DO NOT at any time drink tap water. Most hotels and restaurants provide safe drinking water, or you can opt from several brands of mineral water. Mineral water is sold in allparts of the country and can be bought on safari at different stop points.

Photography
A camera is a must. Though some types of film are available in many of the lodges, but it is advisable to bring film and batteries with you or a digital camera with some spare batteries.

A pair of binoculars will prove extremely useful for keen game viewers or birders. There is no charge for photography cameras and personal video recorders, but there may be a charge for commercial cameras in some places. Clients are responsible for any such fee. Please always ask people before taking their pictures.

Security
Precautions should be taken as in any major city. Lock up your valuables in your hotel room. We recommend that you do not walk alone in the late hours of the night but instead take a taxi.

Transport
The roads are generally in good condition. 4WD vehicles are required for upcountry use, especially in the national parks during the rainy seasons. We maintain our 4WD vehicles and they are available on chauffeur driven basis. Please inquire for further details and tariffs.
