Travel Tips
Practical safari travel tips for Uganda and Rwanda.
Simple preparation makes the safari easier
Pack light layers for changing temperatures, a waterproof outer layer for forest trekking, comfortable closed walking shoes, sun protection, insect repellent and a small daypack. Keep travel documents and important medication in hand luggage.
Road travel
Driving times can vary with traffic, road works, weather and wildlife. Treat road days as part of the safari rather than dead time; scenery and local stops often add context to the journey.
Money and payments
Carry a combination of cards and some cash for personal purchases and tips. Your confirmed safari quotation should clearly separate included services from personal expenses.
