When is the best time to visit East Africa for a safari?

The dry seasons (June–October and January–February) offer the best game viewing across East Africa. Gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda is excellent year-round. The Great Migration peaks in Tanzania's Serengeti from July to September.

How much does a gorilla trekking safari in Uganda cost?

Gorilla trekking permits in Uganda cost $800 USD per person. Lavida Africa Safaris offers complete gorilla trekking packages including accommodation, transport, and guiding from competitive all-inclusive rates. Contact us for a personalised quote.

Do you offer customised safari itineraries?

Yes. Every Lavida Africa Safaris itinerary is tailor-made for each client. We design trips around your travel dates, group size, interests, fitness level, and budget — across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Congo, and Zanzibar.

What is included in your safari packages?
