Some places stay with you long after you leave. Dawn in Bwindi on a Uganda safari, the forest loud with birdsong as you set off on your gorilla trekking day. The great herds of the migration pouring across the Mara River on a Kenya safari. Serengeti skies so wide they make you feel small on a Tanzania safari. An hour seven metres from a silverback in Volcanoes National Park, the highlight of any safari in Rwanda. Insight Safari Holidays plans tailor-made safaris across all four countries. We arrange your permits, lodges and driver guide, and shape every trip around your dates, budget and pace. Tell us what you’d like to see, and we’ll send you a day-by-day plan.

Questions

Safari Questions, Answered

Have a question we have not covered? Ask our safari consultants about your own trip.

Ask a Safari Expert
How much does an African safari cost?

In East Africa, budget group safaris run from about USD 150 to 400 per person per day, midrange private safaris about USD 300 to 800, and luxury safaris USD 600 to 1,500 or more. Gorilla permits and park fees are added on top. See our safari cost guide for a full breakdown.

How much is a gorilla trekking permit?

A gorilla permit costs USD 800 in Uganda and USD 1,500 in Rwanda for foreign visitors. Permits sell out in busy months, so we book them as part of your trip. Read how it works for Uganda and Rwanda.

When is the best time to go on safari in East Africa?

The long dry season from June to September and the short dry season from December to February are best for game drives and gorilla trekking. The Mara River crossings usually peak from July to October, and calving season in the southern Serengeti runs from January to March. See the best time for gorilla trekking.

Can I combine two or more countries on one trip?

Yes. Uganda and Rwanda pair well for gorillas and chimpanzees, and Kenya and Tanzania pair well for the Great Migration. Many guests add a few days on Zanzibar at the end. Our safari packages include combined routes.

Are your safaris fixed group tours?

No. Every safari is private and tailor-made. Our packages are starting points, and we change the dates, lodges, pace and activities to suit you.

Who will guide us?

Our own driver guides, based in East Africa. Our senior guides have between 15 and 25 years in the field. Meet them on our team page.
