    Unforgettable 10-Day Uganda Safari with Emerald of Africa Safaris

    Our 10 Days Uganda Safari with Emerald of Africa Safaris was truly an unforgettable experience. Everything was well organised from start to finish, making the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. A special thanks to Bob who helped us organise the trip and made the planning process very easy. Chris our driver/guide was fantastic throughout the safari. He was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable about Uganda's wildlife and culture, and he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. We had the incredible gorilla trekking and chimpanzee Tracking experiences. We also saw amazing wildlife including elephants, lions, and giraffes while enjoying Uganda's beautiful landscapes The accommodations were great, the vehicle was comfortable and the itinerary was perfectly planned. We highly recommend Emerald of Africa Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari in Uganda.

    Incredible experience with a fantastic guide

    We visited Uganda for a 9-day safari tour, and this company made it one of the best experiences of our lives. Our fantastic guide Edmand worked tirelessly to make sure we were comfortable, maximise the time with the animals, and was a fountain of interesting knowledge about the various species, culture, and history of the country. We learned so much and really appreciated Edmand's ability to find the hiding animals, as well as his patience to let us enjoy the moments (whilst other safari jeeps drove off, we spent an extra 10 minutes with a lioness and her cubs). In addition, the accommodation was all lovely, and the food throughout was great (we're vegetarian and didn't struggle at all). Cost wise we found the company to be fair compared to others. Importantly though we were never up-sold anything throughout the tour. Everything is included and there was no one trying to make us spend more. Thank you Emerald of Africa. If we're lucky enough to visit Uganda again, we will definitely rebook with you!

    10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.

    How much does 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $6,575 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kampala usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari take?

    +

    Plan for about 240 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kampala is not rushed.

    Is 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kampala, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 240-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kampala can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kampala and add a light layer if any part of the 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kampala within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kampala?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kampala experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampala’s Best Experience walking tour, Kampala Walking City Tours (Women-Guided), Kampala Heart of Walking Adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kampala?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kampala?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Kampala. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 10-Day Uganda Primates and Big 5 Safari if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Kampala. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
