Your safety is our priority. Here is how we are conducting our tours in a safe and secure environment.

Your safety is our priority like never before:

Personal safety first especially  in light of Covid-19:

Where as being safe is partly a personal responsibility, we also urge you please to practice personal safety by:

• Regularly washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Hand washing is one of the most important safety measures to prevent the spread of disease. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. This will be available in our tour vehicles and partner lodges all the time.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with your hands.
• Cover your mouth and nose with the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze.
• Wear a face mask when out in public.  Chigo Tours Africa will always endeavour to provide face masks when visiting primates like Gorillas and chimpanzees. At the same, clients, tour guides and staff will comply with any local regulations that require the use of a mask in public or in certain places.

We encourage people to sign up tours in low season. You could probably consider this!

October to November and March to May are the two-low seasons in Uganda/Rwanda/Kenya/Tanzania. Despite the fact that East Africa experiences rains during this season, most tour activities still go on. Besides, because of Uganda’s location on the equator, it tends to rain late afternoon. So most safari activities take place in the morning hours and early afternoon. Therefore, proper planning limits inconveniences that may be caused by the rains. Again, during this low season, lodges and destinations have few tourists. Not many tourists travel during this period largely to avoid inconveniences caused by rains. Hence no crowding, which would otherwise affect our social distancing policy.
