Tips and Advice on Traveling Solo on Safari in Uganda
Here you will find Practical Advice on Traveling Solo on Safari in Uganda
Practical Advice on Traveling Solo on Safari in Uganda. You have decided that Traveling Solo on Safari is suitable for you. We have taken many Solo Travelers on a personalized, private Safari just for them; most of them have been women who have chosen to travel alone in Africa, in Uganda, and go on a mid-range or upmarket Solo Safari.
Solo Safaris are fantastic for photographers since they can linger for however long they want to take wildlife pictures without fellow travelers urging them on.
The downside of solo travel comes at a higher cost. A lone traveler cannot share Transport and Room expenses with anyone else. Traveling alone on a safari costs more unless you go on a scheduled group safari.
For many, the good of a solo safari outweighs the negative. It is up to you to make the right choice for you.
Solo Safaris give you a choice of activities while on Safari, the choice of parks, the number of days on a Safari, and the amount of money you want to invest.
The Reality – You receive Individual Attention, but Traveling Solo on Safari costs you more:
Practical Advice on Traveling Solo on Safari in Uganda: When it comes to the cost of a Solo Safari, it is not the park entrance fees or the gorilla and Chimpanzee permits; it is the transportation, including the fuel, that means more money
Transport is using a proper safari vehicle for maximum viewing of wildlife, an experienced driver-guide with experience, and having no one sharing the cost of fuel. Presently diesel fuel runs about 90 Cents plus a liter.
When there is no one to share the costs, you alone have to bear the expenses of transportation, driver, and fuel. There is also the added cost of single rooms, which is more than a shared room with another person.
More and more, primarily women, choose this route for their upmarket or mid-range Safari, looking at the experience and not just dollars and cents.

Go on a Safari with a friend and save some money. It will make your Safari more pocket-book friendly, and you can discover Uganda with a friend.
Choose the Lodging you prefer:
Practical Advice on Traveling Solo on Safari in Uganda: You can choose Lodging, which you only have on a private Safari, whether upmarket or mid-range. They all come with an en-suite bath, and your dietary preferences can be accommodated.
Lodges are safe and secure. You have the privacy you want, or you can interact with other travelers at the Main Lodge.
Lodge Staff are friendly and accommodating to the Solo Safari Traveler and will do almost anything to make your stay comfortable.
Most lodges have Internet Access in one form or another. WiFi is reaching remote locations, and you can stay in touch with friends and family.
Safari Transportation and Tour Guide for Solo Travelers:
Practical Advice on Traveling Solo on Safari in Uganda: I love the Bradt Guide to Uganda, but the portions of it that paint a wrong picture, such as getting rides into Parks on the back of some official vehicle or taking buses that do not bring into proximity with the park itself, much less the activities in the park such as game drives.
The best way to get around is in a safe, sound 4-wheel drive Safari Vehicle with a pop-up roof. Even more critical is the Driver Guide.
One of our Solo Safari Clients called her tour guide – a guardian angel who treated her like a brother, taught her to eat Mangoes like an African, and even bought some local gin called Waragi to taste.
She loved her time on a Solo Safari because she felt safe and secure from arrival to departure, was introduced to local culture, and experienced Authentic Africa.
Food and Drink on a Solo Safari:
If you go on your own Solo Safari, when it comes to meals, there is a good chance that you might become ill.
Roadside food is questionable; drinks in plastic sacks are often contaminated. Cholera Typhoid, or Idi Amin’s revenge, can be part of your Safari.
We use lodges where for the most part, you should be fine and not be disqualified due to illnesses on the day of your Gorilla or Chimpanzee Trek.
Dietary Needs such as Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free can be met at mid-range and upmarket lodges.
Lodging is necessary not only for a room, bath facilities, and mosquito netting but also for decent food that will not make you ill.

Private Solo Safaris – Our Take:
Practical Advice on Traveling Solo on Safari in Uganda: A Private Solo Safari in the Heart of Africa. e find that many are choosing that option since they are traveling Solo and have pretty good ideas about what they would like to do and see.
Solo Travel means higher cost and freedom of choice in picking lodges, options when it c, mode of transport, and clubs. That alone says a lot to many an African Traveler.
Solo Travelers are increasing worldwide, and the same applies to Uganda; nevertheless, the cost remains high due to Safaris’ uniqueness, transport, and solo rooms.
The alternative is to choose a company that offers scheduled group Safaris that you can join. Ou loses the power of choice regarding dates, activities, and Lodging.
You have our knowledge of Uganda and the Authentic African experiences you can partake in while in the Pearl of Africa.
Here is what a recent Solo Traveler wrote about her Solo Safari with us:
I can not express my gratitude enough for helping me organize this trip to Uganda! t has exceeded my expectations, and I have had the best time! Raveling solo female, I always felt at ease and welcomed everywhere! Everyone from the staff at lodges and restaurants to rangers and guides has shown me the highest respect and friendliness. I have never been to a country with such happy and friendly people!
All the activities I’ve done during the week have been exciting, and I’ve seen so much beautiful nature and amazing landscapes. The Rangers also taught me much about animals, plants, and the environment. The safaris have shown me amazing animals very close. The gorilla tracking in Bwindi is the highlight and a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience!
The drive between different parks and areas of the country showed me the beautiful landscapes and variety of nature that Uganda has to offer. t was almost a safari itself!
I also want to take this opportunity to send my most significant and warmest THANK YOU to Gerard, my driver guide! e helped me through the week to ensure everything was precise as I wished and needed! e even ensured I got to see the” right” gorilla family, and they taught me about Ugandan history, culture, and food along the way! His Safari would not have been the same without him! I would, without a doubt, book him again!
I am so, so, so happy with this trip, and I hope to be back again soon! Ganda quickly stole a piece of my heart!
Thank you! Sincerely, Kristel
