Frequently Asked Questions
Why combine adventure and primates in one trip?
Uganda is uniquely positioned to offer both. No other country in the world has Grade 5 rafting on the Nile, chimpanzee tracking in a world-class forest, and mountain gorilla trekking within a 7-day circuit. The contrast between the adrenaline of Jinja's Nile and the profound silence of standing with gorillas in Bwindi is one of the most complete emotional journeys available in East African travel.
Are both permits ($1,050 value) genuinely included?
Yes — the gorilla trekking permit ($800 pp) and the Kibale chimpanzee tracking permit ($250 pp) are both included in the A-06 package price of $4,000 per person. The permit value alone is $1,050 — all secured and managed by Roam Beyond.
Is 7 days enough to avoid rushing?
Yes — the itinerary is designed so that no day feels hurried. Days 2 and 7 are primarily driving (with excellent scenery), and Days 3–6 are properly paced activity days. The Lake Bunyonyi rest day (Day 6) provides excellent recovery between the primate encounters and the long return drive.
