Uganda has a lot more to offer beside gorillas and therefore a tour organized by a tour operator is recommended.

Kampala has a good nightlife but no amazing tourist attractions.
The travel cost below was estimated for July in 2012.
It is not possible to keep all costs up to date. The source and date are therefore specified in parentheses for each cost.
( Internet YYYY-MM-DD / Guidebook name & publish date / Travel YYYY-MM-DD )
Be aware of the fact that real prices can be almost twice as much as those specified in guide books.
The cheapest flight ticket is 6.093 but then you arrive 03:25 in the night and have to leave 04:35. We have therefore selected a more expensive flight with better times. Different air companies are used which is not good so it might be a good idea to look if you can find something better.
