Frequently Asked Questions
Is 14 days enough time or too long?
It is exactly right. The circuit is designed so that no day is rushed and rest days are genuinely restful. Days with long drives always have significant activities (rafting, safari, or primate tracking) on either end. The Lake Bunyonyi rest day (Day 13) gives you space to process 13 days of extraordinary experience. Clients consistently say 14 days felt perfect.
Both gorilla and chimp permits are included?
Yes. The gorilla trekking permit ($800 pp) and Kibale chimpanzee tracking permit ($250 pp) are both included in the $5,650 package price. Combined permit value: $1,050 per person — both secured and managed by Roam Beyond.
How does the payment plan work?
At $5,650 per person, the payment plan is $471/month over 12 months. No interest, no hidden fees, no credit check. This is 14 extraordinary days in Uganda made accessible by saving monthly. Start your plan today at info@roambeyondtours.com or WhatsApp +447826805254.
Is this suitable for solo travellers?
Yes — several of our A-10 bookings each year are solo travellers. Your private vehicle and guide mean you travel entirely at your own pace with your own schedule. The social element comes from the lodges and activities. This is not a group tour — it's a private circuit designed around you.
