Uganda Tour Operator FAQs
Are you a licensed tour operator in Uganda
Yes. Elephant Whispers Safaris is a licensed tour operator in Uganda registered with the Uganda Tourism Board licence number UTB/RTT/TO/2024/101140. We plan and operate private Uganda safari, gorilla trekking tours, wildlife trips and wider East Africa itineraries for international and reginal travellers.
Are your safaris private?
Yes. Most journeys are fully private — your own vehicle, driver-guide and flexible pace. Genuine small-group options are available for some experiences on request.
Can you customise an itinerary?
Every route is tailor-made. We adjust duration, accommodation level, activities and pace around your dates, budget and the experiences that matter most to you.
How early should I book?
The earlier the better for permit-sensitive trips such as gorilla trekking, where availability is limited. We'll advise a realistic timeline for your chosen dates and destinations.
Can I combine more than one country?
Absolutely — Uganda and Rwanda gorillas, or East Africa's plains game and beaches, combine well. Ask us about a multi-country East Africa route.
