Logistics and planning details for Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Access is normally planned through EBB, using private road transfers, scheduled flights, charter flights or lodge-arranged transfers depending on itinerary level. Confirm baggage limits, airstrip status, pickup points and transfer duration before issuing a final quote.
Most international travellers require a Uganda eVisa or applicable entry clearance before travel. For combined East Africa itineraries, confirm whether an East Africa Tourist Visa is suitable before quotation.
Park entry, conservation and activity fees must be reconfirmed at quotation stage because official tariffs and resident/non-resident categories can change.
Uganda is equatorial, green and often humid, with rain possible in forest and mountain areas at any time. Forest trekking destinations are cooler and wetter than savannah parks, so weatherproof gear is important. Coastal and lake areas can be humid, windy or changeable, so marine activities should be confirmed locally.
Pack lightweight safari clothing, waterproof layers, sturdy trekking boots, gaiters or long socks for forest walks, garden gloves for gorilla or chimpanzee trekking, insect repellent and a soft-sided bag for touring.
Build the itinerary around the main experience rather than rushing through Queen Elizabeth National Park. Pair it with Kibale Forest, Ishasha Sector, and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for better pacing, and verify seasonal access, activity availability and client fitness requirements before confirmation.
