Additional Planning Notes
Uganda’s tourism growth — 1.64 million arrivals and roughly US$1.62 billion in earnings — reflects rising demand for primate and savannah experiences. Murchison Falls received 150,831 park visitors in 2025 (32.3% of all Uganda national park entries), confirming its position as the country’s most visited national park. Entry costs US$45 per person per 24 hours (foreign non-resident adults) under the current UWA conservation tariff valid through June 2026.
When building any itinerary, sequence matters: arrive Entebbe, recover one night, then drive north (roughly 6–7 hours by road via Masindi and Kichumbanyobo gate) or fly to Pakuba airstrip in about one hour. Schedule Buligi game drives at dawn on the northern bank. Afternoon launch cruises to the falls (about US$30 upstream to the falls) catch warm light on the gorge.
If shoebill is a priority, reserve a delta boat separately from the upstream cruise. The Nile delta near Lake Albert holds one of Africa’s most reliable shoebill populations — grey, prehistoric, standing over a metre tall in the papyrus.
Gorilla permits at US$800 (foreign non-residents, UWA tariff through June 2026) require date-specific booking — 42,960 gorilla permits sold in 2025. Chimpanzee trekking at Kibale (about US$250) or Budongo (about US$130) adds primate depth without the gorilla price tag.
Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary (US$50 at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary) on the Kampala–Gulu highway between Nakasongola and Masindi completes the Big Five with Murchison savannah species. Foot tracking with rangers lasts 1–2 hours.
Queen Elizabeth National Park (US$40 per person per 24 hours) bridges north and southwest circuits. Ishasha’s tree-climbing lions and the Kazinga Channel hippo cruise are highlights on 8+ day itineraries.
