Large Group Safaris in Uganda
Taking a large group on Safari in Uganda
How do you take a large group on a Safari in
Uganda?
Visitors to Uganda do not come in twos or threes - they come in groups of 10, 15 or more. How does one take them on a safari to places such as Murchison Falls National Park or Queen Elizabeth National Park. Larger groups mean a reduction in price, especially if you use a bus, what most however is prefer is move via safari vans.
What kinds of visitors to Uganda go on a large group safari?
-
Short-Term Volunteer Groups: Medical Teams, Teaching Teams, Building Teams, and more.
-
Short-Term Missions Groups: That makes up the largest part of teams to Uganda.
-
Conference Delegates to Uganda: Every imaginable conference takes place in Uganda and a safari trip for such a group is the perfect topping to a visit to Uganda.
-
Corporate Teams doing Business in Uganda: More and more groups are here to work up with their Ugandan counterparts and often a safari is included in the visit.
Taking a large group on Safari:
-
Best Option: Take several Safari Vans and stay at the same lodging at the Park Destination you have chosen. That is the best way and preserves the intimacy of a safari. Six can easily go into a safari van and in some cases 7 or 8, if you have 24 you simply have three vans drive in a sort of convoy to your chosen National Park Destination, or you can choose 6 to a van and have 6 vans. For game drives each van would have a wildlife expert on board to make you aware of wildlife, birds, plants and trees in the park.
-
Use a 28 some Passenger Bus: Many have gone via this mode of transportation and have had a great time on their safari. Everyone is together, the bus is high up and allows for maximum wildlife viewing. The windows open wide and picture taking is not hampered at all. People can move around from side to side and everyone is together. We use a 4 wheel drive bus for extra safety for clients. Money is saved since you are using only one vehicle and one driver and one Wildlife expert on board. We recommend that on game drives in parks you do not have more than 14 passengers in order to allow for free movement.
Lodging for large groups: There can certainly a savings if one makes wise choices such as.
-
3 to a room: Even in up-market settings this will save from 30 usd a room on up. In a budget facility it might be somewhat less with three to a room in twin beds and self contained rooms.
-
Use Backpacker Rooms or Tents with shared facilities: Shared facilities but the price even with full board it is a lot less than private rooms with bath. It can arranged in such a way that only members of the groups. Such facilities are not available in all parks.
Full Board or not for a large Group?
-
Some Accommodations automatically come with breakfast, others do not.
-
In some cases full-board means added value for you and there is no alternative as is with some up-market lodgings.
-
In a few cases-paying for your own food comes out lower - most Safari companies will give you the right advice
Where to go on a large Group Safari?
-
1 Day Wildlife Safari: The choice would of course be Lake Mburo - 3 1/2 hours from Kampala and the perfect for a one day Mini Safari into the wild of Uganda. Chimp Tracking at Budongo Forest is another choice for a one day group safari, but special bookings have to be made to get all members included into a chimp tracking group.
-
2 Day Wildlife Safari: Lake Mburo, Murchison Falls are the two logical choices. The overnight cost is lower for better lodging at Murchison Falls. Chimp tracking can be included at Murchison Falls.
-
3 Day Wildlife Safari: Murchison Falls Wildlife and Chimp Tracking Safari. Queen Elizabeth National Park with wildlife and Chimp tracking. Kibale Forest Jungle Chimpanzee Tracking, nocturnal walk in the forest and a swamp walk with mammals, primates, and birds. 3 day Gorilla Tracking Safari to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (depending on Gorilla permits).
