Is gorilla trekking safe?

Yes, gorilla trekking in Uganda is a safe and well-regulated activity. The Uganda Wildlife Authority oversees all treks, and experienced guides from Leysam Tours and Travels are trained in ensuring the safety of participants. Safety protocols are strictly adhered to, including maintaining a safe distance from the gorillas and monitoring the health of trekkers. Our guides will provide pre-trek briefings to equip you with the necessary knowledge for a safe and enjoyable experience.

What should I pack for the safari?

When packing for your safari with Leysam Tours and Travels, consider lightweight, breathable clothing suitable for varying temperatures. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are essential for trekking. A light rain jacket is advisable due to the possibility of sudden showers. Don’t forget essential items like sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat for sun protection. A good quality camera with zoom capability is a must to capture Uganda’s stunning wildlife and landscapes. Binoculars are also recommended for wildlife viewing.

How long is the gorilla trek?

Gorilla treks can vary in duration, typically lasting between 2 to 8 hours, depending on the location of the gorilla family you are tracking. The trek can be strenuous as it may involve steep ascents and descents in dense forest. However, your guides from Leysam Tours and Travels will be there to assist and ensure your comfort. It’s essential to be prepared for the possibility of a longer trek, as the gorillas roam freely in their natural habitat.

Can I customize my itinerary?

Absolutely! Leysam Tours and Travels specializes in creating personalized safari experiences. If you have specific interests, such as wildlife photography, cultural encounters, or particular regions you wish to explore, we encourage you to discuss them with our team. We will tailor your itinerary to include your preferences, ensuring a unique adventure that aligns with your expectations and desires.

What is the best time to visit Uganda?

Uganda can be visited year-round, but the best times for wildlife viewing and gorilla trekking are during the dry seasons from December to February and June to August. These months typically see less rainfall, making the trails more accessible and wildlife easier to spot. However, the rainy seasons (March to May and September to November) can also be rewarding, as the landscape becomes lush and vibrant, and there are fewer tourists.

Are there any additional costs I should be aware of?

While Leysam Tours and Travels covers most expenses in your package, there are additional costs to consider, such as personal expenses (souvenirs, snacks), tips for guides and drivers, and optional activities like cultural performances or extra excursions. It’s advisable to budget around 10-15% of your total trip cost for tips and personal expenses. Your guide will help provide insights on appropriate tipping practices.

Do I need a visa to enter Uganda?

Yes, a visa is required for most visitors to Uganda. You can apply for an e-visa online before your trip or obtain one upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport. Ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and has at least one blank page for the visa stamp. For specific requirements based on your nationality, check with your local Ugandan embassy or consulate.

What type of accommodation can I expect?

Leysam Tours and Travels offers a diverse range of accommodations to suit various preferences and budgets, including comfortable lodges, luxury tents, and guesthouses. Each accommodation is selected for its quality, location, and hospitality. Most lodges provide stunning views, modern amenities, and local cuisine, ensuring a comfortable stay as you explore Uganda’s beauty. Specific accommodations will be listed in your itinerary.
