If you choose the lodge accommodation option, your breakfast is also included.<\/p>\n WiFi is generally available, mostly in the public areas.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t If you choose a car with a rooftop tent, the following items are included:<\/p>\n Sleeping gear:<\/b> A double mattress, sleeping bags, and pillows.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Camping gear:<\/b> A camping table, stools, a cool box (non-electric), a table lamp, a shovel, and a jerrycan for water.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Cooking equipment:<\/b> A cooking pot, pan, gas stove, plates, and cups.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t No, if you choose a rooftop tent, you will not be able to use the pop-up roof during safaris.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The campsites are almost always located on the grounds of the lodges.

Additionally, there are frequently local markets along the route where you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables.

This can be done at the start of your trip, for example in Kampala or Jinja.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Unfortunately, it is not possible to book the gorilla or chimpanzee trekking after your initial booking. Because there are a limited number of permits<\/b> available for these activities, we need to know if you wish to include them at the time of your registration.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t During your trip, you will visit the following national parks:<\/p>\n Lake Mburo<\/b> (1 day)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Murchison Falls National Park<\/b> (2 days)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Queen Elizabeth National Park<\/b> (1 or 2 days)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Entrance fees for the national parks must be paid on-site.

The most important rules are: always stay inside the vehicle, maintain a safe distance from the animals, stick to the designated roads, and ensure you leave the park before dark.<\/p>\n Within the national parks, you can also choose to head out with a professional guide.
