FAQ's

Welcome to Kofi Travel Safari, where every journey is an adventure waiting to unfold!

For prime wildlife sightings, aim for the dry seasons from August to September and December to February. During these months, the national parks come alive with bustling wildlife activity, offering you a front-row seat to nature’s spectacle. Plus, if you’re keen on primate encounters, you’re in for a treat! The forest beckons with thrilling primate walks, a quintessential part of any Ugandan safari experience.

For those seeking optimal weather conditions, mark your calendar for June to July and January to February. With minimal rainfall, you can bask in the beauty of Uganda under clear, sunny skies.

At Kofi Travel Safari, we understand that seamless travel logistics are essential for a stress-free adventure. So, let’s talk visa and medical travel requirements to ensure your journey to Uganda  the Great Pearl of Africa is smooth sailing.

Visa-wise, most visitors can obtain a Ugandan visa conveniently at the point of entry for $50 per person. Alternatively, you can opt for the hassle-free e-visa process online. Just remember to carry your yellow fever vaccination card and a valid passport with at least six months’ validity upon your arrival. These essentials ensure a swift and hassle-free entry into Uganda, allowing you to focus on soaking in the wonders of this vibrant land.

Now, onto health matters. Prioritize a visit to your doctor to discuss essential medical precautions before embarking on your Ugandan adventure. Malaria-preventative medication is a must, given the tropical climate. Additionally, we strongly advise travelers to secure comprehensive medical insurance coverage before embarking on their journey, providing added peace of mind in case of unforeseen medical emergencies during their time in Uganda.
