Safari Tours with a Difference Making a Difference
SO.. much more than the usual wildlife safari, UP! also gives you a unique and transformational opportunity to meet enterprising Ugandans who are solving poverty and hunger.
What does a typical UP! Partnership Safari look like and cost?
The Basics
We will finalise these tour dates as soon as we can given the pandemic.
You sort out your flights to Uganda (though we can do this for you if you wish), visas, medicals, personal and medical insurance, on tour drinks and laundry bills, and we will do the rest.
We will manage all the core tour elements ie all Uganda transport including Entebbe International Airport transfers, accommodation, food, national park and local community development project visits. Depending on whether you are sharing a room and overall numbers on the tour, the cost of a tour is around £2,450 per person, based on 2 sharing.
All our Uganda tours start and end at Entebbe which is the airport you will arrive and depart from.
We drive you ourselves in sturdy 4x4 vehicles on the road trip of a lifetime. Yes there will be lots of road dust, but the view of the scenery and colourful life of the people will more than make up for it.
Trips typically last 14-17 days though can be shorter if required.
