If you&#8217;re flying from another UK city, budget accordingly \u2014 but there are decent connections from Manchester and other hubs via Nairobi or Addis Ababa with airlines like Ethiopian Airlines or Kenya Airways.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We didn&#8217;t scrimp on the road. Wherever possible, we camped, but we gave up cooking after the first day (it gets dark far too early, and the malaria-carrying mosquitoes come out at 5 pm). So we mostly ended up eating at restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We bought whatever caught our eye, but we weren&#8217;t exactly throwing money around either. A typical meal at a hotel or campsite restaurant runs $5\u2013$7, and while you can grab a chapati from a street vendor for pennies, you probably won&#8217;t want to eat them every single day. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Budget_Breakdown\"><\/span><strong>Budget Breakdown:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/uganda-utrata.png\" alt=\"How much does two weeks in Uganda cost\" width=\"1824\" height=\"1352\" title=\"\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Entry_Fees_Will_Bleed_You_Dry\"><\/span>Entry Fees Will Bleed You Dry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Park entrance fees, gorilla permits, and the two-day mountain trek alone cost us nearly \u20ac1,600 between the two of us. Ugandans routinely charge foreigners many times more than locals. It&#8217;s not a scam \u2014 those really are the official prices. It&#8217;s perfectly normal to pay $45 per person for 24-hour entry to a national park (not a minute longer \u2014 a soldier with a Kalashnikov checks you on the way out), plus another $30 for your vehicle. Add accommodation costs, multiply by the number of days, and prepare for some serious sticker shock.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uganda_on_Half_the_Budget_of_a_Tour_Company\"><\/span>Uganda on Half the Budget of a Tour Company<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We compared our costs with what a UK-based tour operator would charge for a similar itinerary.

It turned out we did the whole thing for roughly half the price of their package, and we saw considerably more (including a two-day trek into the Rwenzori Mountains).
