    A fantastic itinerary spoiled by a very inexperienced guide and the last night of accommodation was in a local inn where I felt very unsafe and was of poor quality.

    Asked on June 23rd, 2022

    Do you pick us up from our hotel for this trip? And when do I give you the information about where I'm staying?

    Transport
    • Kawira Safaris LtdOperatorWritten June 2022

      Yes, we do pick you from your Kigali hotel but also we can extend and let us know your flight details and will be happy to also pick you up from there.

      TravelerWritten June 2022

      Do we need to have a covid test 72 hours before this trip and also do we need to have the yellow fever jab? How much would I need to pay now for it if I book it? Also, do you do a trip to see the grave of Dian Fossey?

    • Kawira Safaris LtdOperatorWritten June 2022

      With the current covid protocols, there's no need for covid testing, just need to be fully vaccinated. For Dian Fossey hike and Dian Fossey museum, this we can arrange on the ground.

      TravelerWritten June 2022

      Do I need the yellow fever jab? How much deposit do you require now?

    • Kawira Safaris LtdOperatorWritten June 2022

      Yes you'll need, they do check but not often as most the guest who have crossed into Uganda haven't been asked. For deposit since Gorilla permits aren't included in this tour price, you can just send us directly the permits and we'll go ahead and reserve them on your behalf. You can send us 50% for gorilla permits($700) we reserve the slots and balance closer to the date.

      Victoria

      TravelerWritten June 2022

      If the permits are not included in the price of the trip, could you tell me how much the trip is all together including permits per person please?

    • Kawira Safaris LtdOperatorWritten June 2022

      If permits are paid direct it would be cheaper @$1388, that's $688 + $700. Per person. But through the system it would be$ 1600. Per person. The reason is because we don't add commission on permits.
