The Budget Safari Core
Retreat Investment
Enjoy our flagship budget primate safari from $1,650 per guest sharing. By utilizing comfortable shared 4x4 transport, clean locally owned eco-camps, and authentic local meals, we pass the savings directly to you [1]. Your gorilla ($800) and chimpanzee ($250) permits are fully guaranteed with no hidden fees [1].
Bespoke Enhancements
We specialize in organizing elegant, personalized touches. You can choose to upgrade to a private 4x4 land cruiser, schedule midrange lodge stays, or extend your safari to include golden monkey tracking [1].
The Budget Safari Route
A seamless, active 6-day cross-country circuit designed to show you the best of Uganda's primates and landscapes [1].
The Primate Capital Arrival
Depart early morning from Entebbe in our shared 4x4 safari cruiser, driving through local tea plantations to arrive close to Kibale Forest National Park [1]. Settle into Kibale Forest Camp (lazy camping tents) and enjoy a traditional Ugandan welcome dinner [1].
Canopy Chimpanzee Tracks
Track wild chimpanzee communities through the ancient canopy of Kibale Forest [1]. Observe their complex social communication and playful displays. In the afternoon, enjoy a swamp walk through Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary to view rare birds and forest primates.
The Forest Transition
Take a scenic road transit south past Equator monuments and local crater lakes, settling down next to the ancient boundary of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park [1]. Enjoy a peaceful evening at Broadbill Forest Camp at the forest's edge.
The Giant Primate Encounter
Hike Bwindi's valleys with park rangers to search for mountain gorilla families [1]. Sit in silent reverence with these gentle giants for a quiet hour [1]. In the afternoon, experience an authentic cultural walk with Batwa forest keepers.
Misty Islands
