Plan Your Own Uganda Safari

The promise

By the end of this course you will be able to plan a full Uganda safari yourself, book it directly with permit authorities and lodges, and know exactly where every dollar of your budget goes. No agent mark-up, no guesswork.

Who this course is for

• Independent travellers who want to plan their own Uganda trip rather than hand it to an operator
• Couples or small groups who are comfortable making their own bookings and phone calls
• People who want to understand gorilla and chimp permit pricing before they commit any money
• Anyone who has read three different quotes for the same 7-day trip and wants to know why they varied by USD 2,000

Who should NOT buy this course

If you want someone else to handle every booking, hold your hand through the whole trip and manage problems on the ground for you, this course is not for you. That is what a tour operator is for, and a good one earns their fee. This course is for people who want to do the planning work themselves and are comfortable with some administrative legwork: emails, bank transfers, and following up on permit bookings.

What you will learn

By the end of the course you will be able to:

1. Choose a route and trip length that matches your time and budget, without over-packing the itinerary
2. Book gorilla and chimpanzee permits correctly through the Uganda Wildlife Authority, including choosing the right sector and season
3. Contact lodges directly, negotiate where there is room to, and pay a deposit safely
4. Work out fair transport costs and decide between self-drive and a driver-guide
5. Build a complete, realistic budget for a 7-day mid-range trip and spot where quotes are inflated
6. Prepare properly: what to pack, health requirements, connectivity and a pre-departure checklist
