Visas & Passports

How long does a visa take to process?

It varies widely by country: UAE tourist visas are typically issued in 3–5 working days, while Schengen, UK and South African visas can take 2–4 weeks plus the time to get an appointment. Tell us your destination and travel date and we'll confirm realistic timelines before you commit to anything.

Can you guarantee my visa will be approved?

No one can guarantee approval - the decision rests with the embassy. What we do is make sure your application is complete, your documents meet the current requirements and your category is right, which removes the most common reasons for refusal.

Do I need a visa for Kenya, Tanzania or Rwanda?

If you hold an East African Community passport (including Uganda), no - you travel visa-free within the EAC. Other nationalities usually need an eVisa or eTA; check our destination guides or ask our visa team.

Can you help with passport applications?

Yes - new applications, renewals and replacements. We walk you through the requirements, help prepare the paperwork and track progress with the issuing office.

Flights & Bookings

How do I book a flight with you?

Submit a flight request on our Air Ticketing page (or WhatsApp us) with your route, dates and passenger count. We compare airlines and reply with fare options - usually within hours. Once you choose, we issue the ticket and send it to your email.

Do I pay anything to get a quotation?

No. All quotations - flights, tours, hotels, visas - are free and carry no obligation. You only pay when you confirm a booking.

How do I pay for a booking?

We currently accept bank transfer, mobile money and cash at our Kampala office. Your consultant will share the details with your quotation. Online card payments are coming soon.

Can you change or cancel my ticket?

Yes, subject to the airline's fare rules - some tickets are flexible, others carry change fees. We always tell you the conditions before you buy, and we handle any changes with the airline on your behalf.

Tours & Packages

What's included in a tour package price?

Each tour page lists what's included, but typically: accommodation, park or entry fees, ground transport with a guide, and the activities in the itinerary. International flights and visas are usually quoted separately so you can compare options.

Can you customise a tour for my group?

Absolutely - every published itinerary can be adjusted for your dates, group size, budget and interests. Most of the trips we run are tailor-made.

How far in advance should I book a safari or gorilla trek?

Gorilla permits and migration-season lodges sell out months ahead - book 3–6 months in advance for peak season (June–September, December–February). Shorter notice is often workable outside peak times; ask us.

Other Services

Do you offer airport transfers?

Yes - airport pick-ups and drop-offs at Entebbe and in the destinations we serve, as part of a package or as a standalone car-hire booking.

Can I hire a car without a driver?

Yes, self-drive is available on most of our fleet with a valid licence and a security deposit. For national park safaris we recommend (and most travellers choose) a 4x4 with one of our professional driver-guides.

Do you organise group and corporate travel?

Yes - conferences, company retreats, destination weddings and group pilgrimages. We handle transport, accommodation, venues and on-the-ground coordination. Start with the Event Planning page.
