## Details

## The Pearl of Africa — Wildlife Edition

Uganda packs an extraordinary variety of wildlife into a compact country. This 6-day safari hits the highlights: mountain gorillas in Bwindi's ancient forest, chimpanzees in Kibale's canopy, and savanna Big Four (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard) in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

### Why Uganda?

Gorilla permits here cost $700 — less than half Rwanda's price — while offering equally intimate encounters. Uganda also adds chimp tracking, tree-climbing lions, and the dramatic Kazinga Channel boat safari.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why choose Uganda over Rwanda for gorillas?
Uganda's gorilla permits are $700 vs Rwanda's $1,500. Uganda also offers chimpanzee tracking and savanna game drives in the same trip, making it better value for a combined experience.

### Can we fly between parks?
Yes, internal charter flights are available between Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi, and Entebbe. This saves time on long drives.
