What people love about Tanzania And Uganda Tours
- Gorillas and Game Parks
You wont regret if you chose Absolute Africa for the adventure of your life.
- Rainforests and Reefs
The tour was amazing - it covered the three things I wanted to do - gorillas, the Serengeti and rest at the end in Zanzibar. Our tour guide Vee was incredibly patient with my many questions and she was very informative and helpful, as was a truck driver Patrick. The trip was well organised and showed that Absolute Africa were experienced tour operators. I'd love to travel with them again the next time I go to Africa.
- 28-day Game Parks, Gorillas & Zanzibar (Camping)
Highly recommend this tour with Acacia Africa. My partner and I went on this tour in June/July 2012. It was well organised, the tents are spacious and in really good condition, you get supplied camping mats. The guide was amazing and very knowledgeable and cooked amazing meals. It was well worth the money spent and I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a reliable and trustworthy company to travel around Africa with. I will be using them next time I go.
What our customers ask about Tanzania and Uganda Tours & Trips
What's the best way to combine Tanzania and Uganda in one trip?
A complete exploration of both countries typically spans 14-28 days with travelers starting in one country and finishing in the other. A practical approach begins with gorilla encounters in Uganda's Bwindi Forest followed by wildlife viewing across Tanzania's northern circuit including the Serengeti and Ngorongoro before relaxing on Zanzibar's beaches. GoExplore Safaris runs an 11-day itinerary that efficiently covers key locations in both nations providing a balanced mix of experiences.
What wildlife can I expect to see in Tanzania and Uganda's national parks?
Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater showcase the Big Five alongside expansive wildebeest and zebra migrations. Uganda's parks specialize in primate encounters particularly mountain gorillas in Bwindi and chimpanzees in Kibale forests. A TourRadar traveler shared "we saw everything from tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park to massive gorilla families in Bwindi - the diversity was incredible."
What kind of accommodation options are available in Tanzania and Uganda?
The accommodation spectrum spans from upscale safari lodges to basic guesthouses with options for every budget. Notable stays include Papyrus Guest House in Entebbe Lake Mulehe Lodge near Bwindi Forest and Kontiki Africa in the Serengeti. As shared by a TourRadar traveler: "The lodges were comfortable and located perfectly for wildlife viewing - we especially loved staying at Fort Murchison Lodge overlooking the Nile."
How much should I budget for permits and entrance fees?
Uganda's gorilla permits cost $800 per trek while Tanzania's park entry fees range from $60-80 daily. Chimpanzee tracking requires an additional permit around $200. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The permits seem expensive but seeing gorillas in their natural habitat was worth every penny. Book well in advance as permits are limited."
What cultural experiences are available in Tanzania and Uganda?
Both countries offer rich cultural encounters from Maasai village visits in Tanzania to meetings with Batwa communities near Uganda's Bwindi Forest. Local markets provide authentic insights while properties like Lake Mulehe Lodge feature cultural shows and craft demonstrations. A TourRadar reviewer shared: "The village visits and cultural interactions were just as memorable as the wildlife - especially learning about traditional medicine from a Maasai healer."
What are the best times to visit Tanzania and Uganda for wildlife viewing?
Tanzania's Serengeti shows its best from late November through March during the wildebeest migration on southern plains. Uganda offers year-round gorilla viewing with optimal hiking conditions during dry seasons (June-September and December-February). A TourRadar traveler observed about their stay at Kontiki Africa Lodge: "The wildlife viewing in Serengeti was incredible - we saw the Big Five and massive herds during our December visit."
