Frequently Asked Questions Before you travel
-
Yes, the Uganda Wellness Escape is 7 days / 6 nights, typically routed Entebbe → Queen Elizabeth → Bwindi → Entebbe. It is custom-routed rather than a compressed ten-day itinerary.
-
Transfers are deliberately aligned with low-activity days, and domestic flights can replace long road sections where it improves the journey.
-
No. Nothing is compulsory. Optional sessions can be declined without affecting anything else in the day.
-
Six to twelve months is ideal, primarily because gorilla permits and the best lodges are limited in the peak windows.
-
A simple written framework of the practices and reflections from your journey. It is not a medical treatment plan.
