Safari Prices Composition In Uganda

Safari prices in Uganda depend on a number of factors. We like to consider your safari as an investment. You’re spending your money to create memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.


But what goes into the cost of a Ugandan safari? We’re glad you asked!


There are a number of factors that contribute to the final price tag that gets attached to your Ugandan safari:

The safari price is influenced by its length. For those on a tight budget, you might want to consider a shorter itinerary.

Accommodation is a huge part of the final cost of your Ugandan safari. Thankfully, Uganda offers something for all budgets. From camping out under the stars to affordable lodges, there is something to suit any taste. Your Rafiki Safaris expert can prepare a quote using budget, medium, or luxury accommodations. They can also provide you with a mix of different styles to tailor the experience to your tastes and budget.

Not all national parks are created equal. Bwindi National Park, for example, charges a much higher entrance fee than Kidepo National Park.


Optional activities; These range from relatively affordable adventures such as guided walking safaris to pricier options such as night game drives, rafting, hiking, fishing and bungee jumping.


Transfers; to and from the airport


Domestic flights;


Number of travelers; the number of people sharing a vehicle is a huge factor in deciding the per person cost of a safari. One person on their own is not only paying for their park entry fees and accommodation, but also bears the full cost of the car, professional guide, and all associated fees.


Time of year; Prices are highest during the peak seasons of December – February and June – August, when lodges are getting plenty of business. If you’re looking to save some money on your Ugandan safari, consider visiting in April or May when the rainy season sees many luxury lodges lower their rates to a fraction of what they would usually be.


All of the above come into the equation when your Rafiki Safaris expert is calculating the cost of your Ugandan safari adventure.



A four-day camping safari with six people is going to be cheaper per person than a five-day luxury safari for two people.

Kenya is Africa’s best safari destination. It is no coincidence that Safari was born in Kenya. It is a journey undertaken by travellers away from home. In Arabic “safar” means travel and Safari in Swahili. During the 14th century the Arab trader arrived at the Indian Ocean Coast coastline. At the time, the Arab visitors were more concerned with their trade not wildlife expeditions. Kenya Safari at Maasai Mara Maasai Mara is the most visited game reserve. It is famous for the great migration where zebras and wildebeest follow the rainy season in search for pastures. It is such a spectacular scene to see hundreds of animals moving in one direction. As they cross the Mara river, the predators too (crocodiles) lie in ambush as the African elephants roam the savannas and the predating big cats chase their prey. The plains are teeming with plenty of wildlife. Discover the authentic Maasai culture and the flamingos in Nakuru. Kenya is an all year-round safari destination offering excellent wildlife viewing. Each destination has its own safari experience. Kenya tropical climate along the equator is ideal for an all year-round safari.
