BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Stay in the vehicle
Every part of the safety of a game drive rests on this. An animal reads a jeep as one large object it knows; a person standing beside it is something else entirely. Do not step out for a photograph, not even briefly, not even when it looks calm.
Quiet is the whole technique
Voices carry further than people expect and nothing you want to see will stay for them. Phones on silent, and no calling out to move an animal into a better position.
Never feed anything
An animal that associates vehicles with food stops behaving like a wild animal, and the ones that do usually end up destroyed. It is illegal in Indian national parks and it is the single most damaging thing a visitor can do.
Dull colours, no scent
Greens, browns and greys. Bright clothing and strong perfume both announce you a long way off.
The gate times are not flexible
Indian parks run fixed morning and afternoon slots with hard entry and exit times, a daily cap on vehicles, and no movement inside after dark. Your permit is issued against a specific zone and slot.
No flash, and no drones
Flash photography at close range distresses animals and is banned in most reserves. Drones require written permission that is almost never given.

About Acacia Line

Conservancy and park fees are in the headline price. Full-day drives with a packed lunch rather than two short ones broken by a hotel buffet.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Good value for what's included.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Would book with them again.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Recommended.

Western Uganda was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested.

Questions people ask

Uganda's permit is USD 800 against Rwanda's 1,500, and Bwindi holds about half the world population. The trade is a longer drive from the airport and generally a harder, steeper trek. Rwanda is easier; Uganda is cheaper and wilder.
