10 day great journey in Uganda & Rwanda.
Our group recently completed a 10-day Uganda Rwanda safar with Salt Holidays, and the entire experience was well planned and wonderfully organized. From the moment we landed in Entebbe, Salt Holidays everything was organized smoothly and professionally. On the way to Kibale Forest National Park, we saw beautiful rural scenery, but the real highlight was the chimpanzee trek. Seeing chimpanzees roaming freely in the forest canopy was unforgettable. The Bigdi Wetland Walk was equally enjoyable, as we saw colorful birds and monkeys everywhere. One of the most unique moments was driving through Ishasha and spotting tree-climbing lions resting comfortably in the trees. Relaxing by Lake Kivu after several safari days was refreshing and peaceful. The golden monkey trekking in Volcanoes National Park was energetic and entertaining from beginning to end. The Kigali city tour on the last day was informative and a perfect conclusion to an amazing safari adventure.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! 🌿🦍 We’re thrilled to hear that your 10-day Uganda & Rwanda safari with Salt Holidays was everything you hoped for. From the chimpanzee trekking in Kibale and the Bigodi Wetland Walk to the incredible tree-climbing lions of Ishasha, peaceful Lake Kivu, golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park, and your final Kigali city tour—it sounds like you experienced some truly unforgettable moments. It was our pleasure to have you with us, and we’re delighted that our team could make your journey smooth, memorable, and enjoyable from Entebbe to Kigali. Thank you for choosing Salt Holidays, and we hope to welcome you back to East Africa for another adventure soon! 🌍❤️ Warm regards, The Salt Holidays Team

Peaceful 10 days & Salt Holidays was very responsible.
My girlfriend and I completed our 10-day best of Uganda safari, honestly it was an unforgettable experience made by Salt Holidays. The gorilla trekking experience was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Walking through the misty, ancient forest created a mystical atmosphere, and it was our first time seeing gorillas up close, so we were excited. Besides the gorillas, the Big Five game drives were equally exciting. Every day brought something new, from lions lazing lazily on the grass to elephants crossing our path. Everything was very well organised and our guide made the trip safe and interesting. Ending our journey in Entebbe was the perfect way to close out such an incredible adventure. We will never forget this journey.

Our 10 Days best classical safari experience in Uganda.
Our 10-day safari in Uganda, and our wildlife experience was a very exciting, and it was consistently carried out by Salt Holidays as per our expectations. We started trekking with our very professional guide. The highlight was trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. We also tracked rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, which added a different layer to the Big 5 goal. Walking on foot toward such large animals is very different from viewing wildlife from a vehicle. Game drives in Murchison Falls National Park brought elephants, giraffes, and a distant leopard into view. Each park had its own beauty. We spent 10 days observing wildlife and understanding the diverse landscapes of Uganda. Many memories that will truly last a lifetime.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the kind words! We’re so happy to hear that your safari with Salt Holidays was such a memorable experience. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and walking to see rhinos in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary are truly unforgettable moments. It’s wonderful that you also enjoyed the wildlife in Murchison Falls National Park. We hope to host you again for another adventure in the Pearl of Africa

+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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.

+

How far in advance should I book 10 days best of Uganda with big5 and primate 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.

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.
