    Unforgettable experience

    Unforgettable experience in a country full of contrasts. Without a doubt, if you want a safari that offers something different, Uganda is the one to choose. The moment with the gorillas is so incredible that when it ends, it does not seem like it was real. Our guide, Stuart, made the experience unforgettable. Thanks to him, we were able to see the big 5. Everything went according to plan and he was always waiting for us with a smile. Without a doubt 11/10, without him, the trip would not have been the same. Thanks to Lulu Safaris, all the lodges were incredible and everything was prepared for our arrival.

    what an experience, Uganda is amazing

    We did a 12-day tour which was completely taken care of by Lulu Safaris. Together with our guide and driver Samuel, we have been to all the interesting places in Uganda from Kampala. What a wonderful experience that was. Samuel completely unburdened us and expertly drove past rhinos, giraffes, elephants, chimpanzees, gorillas and what not. With a lot of expertise he showed us what beautiful birds there are. During the rides in nice conversations he told a lot about his country, life in Uganda and many other interesting things. 11 days together in a car could lead to discussion or unpleasant silences. That was not the case with us, we talked about anything and everything and got along just fine. We made the trip with the two of us and the nice thing about this setup is that you also make the game drives with your own vehicle so that you can stop where you want and take as long as you think necessary. The planning with all lodges and organizations was perfectly arranged, we were expected everywhere and were on time for all appointments, which deserves a compliment. The car in which we made the tour was an original Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series with a roof that could be opened, perfect for the game drives and completely in style for an optimal experience. We really enjoyed our trip through Uganda and thank everyone who contributed to this.

    Visiting the Pearl of Africa from the jewel’s hands!

    Our tour with Lulu has been great. We’ve been a total of 12 days with them, both in Uganda and Rwanda. We started our trip from Entebbe-Jinja, and then Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elisabeth, Ishasha, Bwindi and Kigali. We had the pleasure to have Derrick as our guide. He’s a lovely person, very knowledgeable and attentive to details. He always had the right answer for any curiosity we had, he also constantly commented whatever we could see on the way and also asked about our needs to make a stop constantly. He really gave a very personal touch during our trip, and made it extremely special. He also taught us some hints of the local language! All lodges were carefully selected together, and the experience was overall very good. There were minor issues in some of them like no hot water or good conexion, but it is what it is, they were in very remote locations. Need to highligh that Elvis, the owner, was 24/7 available on whatsapp for any concern we might have on our way. We’ve been lucky to discover Uganda from Lulu’s & specially Derrick’s hands. We can truly say now it is the Pearl of Africa, it offers many diff activities: safari, gorilla & chimps trecks, city tours, rafting, communities visit… We can state we came back with our hearts fulfilled and all desires accomplished. Thank you so much Derrick & Elvis, hope to travel with you guys again!

    12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights cost?

    +

    Prices start at $4,896 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 12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights take?

    +

    Plan for about 288 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 12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights?

    +

    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 12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights?

    +

    Around 4 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 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights 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 12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; Lunch; Dinner; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Kampala. Be ready about 1440 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is 12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights offered in?
