3 Days and 2 Nights Queen Elizabeth Fly in safari

This 3 Days and 2 Nights Queen Elizabeth Fly in safari is an efficient way to experience Uganda's abundant wildlife by avoiding long road transfers, with packages generally ranging from $800 to $3,000+ per person, depending on the level of accommodation.

What to pack

Given the savannah environment, proper gear is essential:

• Clothing: Pack light shirts and trousers. A lightweight jacket in case of any rains
• Gear: A daypack, binoculars, a camera with extra batteries, insect repellent with DEET, and a reusable water bottle are useful.
• Health: Carry your yellow fever vaccination certificate.

Best time to go

The dry seasons, from Mid May to August and December to February, are generally considered the best time for this activity

• Cons: These are peak seasons, you need to book in advance accommodations and flights tend to be fully booked quickly. It is recommended to book 6 to 12 months in advance.
• Rainy season (March to May and October to November): Treks are more challenging due to muddy trails. However, there are fewer crowds, accommodation prices may be lower, and the scenery is lush and green
