How Much Does a 5 Days Uganda Safari Cost?
The 5 Days Uganda Safari Price depends on the type of safari experience you choose, including the destination, accommodation category, activities, number of travelers, and travel season.
On average, a 5-day Uganda safari costs between USD 800 and USD 6,000+ per person.
A wildlife-only safari to destinations such as Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, or Lake Mburo National Park is more affordable, while a gorilla trekking safari costs more because of the gorilla permit fee.
