Dates and duration on Uganda safaris
The cost of Uganda safaris depends highly on the dates and duration a traveller comes on holiday.
Meanwhile, Uganda has three seasons; the low season which is around March- May and November and the high season in June, September and October and the peak season in July, August and December to February.
If your dates are flexible, we can advise you on how to benefit from the low season rates. It should be noted however that only luxury lodges in Uganda offer low season rates. Mid-range and budget lodges have a standard rate throughout the year.
The time you spend on Uganda safaris too contributes to how much a safari will cost you. There are different safari itineraries to choose from. These start from day trips to longer safaris and the more the time on safari the more the expenses, but it is all worth it.
