Expert Tips for Your East Africa Safari

1. Book Gorilla Permits Early — Uganda permits ($800) sell out months in advance, especially for peak season (June–September, December–February). We book directly with UWA.

2. Best Time to Travel — Dry seasons (June–September, December–February) offer easier trekking and better wildlife viewing. Green season (March–May, November) means fewer crowds and lower rates.

3. Combine Countries — Start in Kigali (4 hrs to Bwindi) rather than Entebbe (8–9 hrs) to save time and money on gorilla trekking.

4. Pack Smart — Broken-in hiking boots, rain jacket, long pants, gardening gloves (for gorilla trekking), insect repellent, sunscreen, and a good camera.

5. Porter Hire — Highly recommended for gorilla trekking ($15). Steep, muddy trails — a porter helps with your bag and balance while supporting local livelihoods.

6. Travel Insurance — Essential for medical evacuation and trip cancellation.

7. Visa Requirements — Uganda: $50 on arrival (e-visa recommended). Kenya: eTA required. Rwanda: visa on arrival for most nationalities. Tanzania: e-visa.
