What Is Included in a Uganda Safari Package? Inclusions and Exclusions Explained
Compare quotes properly by checking exactly what is, and is not, in the price.
Inclusions differ by itinerary, so each tour page lists its own. As a rule, a package covers accommodation, meals as stated, transport with a driver-guide, park entrance and activity permits, and bottled water. International flights, visas, insurance and personal spending are usually extra.
Understanding the difference between a cheap quote and a complete one is the single most useful comparison tool; see what a Uganda safari costs and safari packages compared.
