Super communication and great value for great services
I recently returned from a 12-day trip to Uganda, organised through Gorilla Explorers. Throughout, the communication from/with Chris at Gorilla Explorers was great, he was very responsive, provided lost of information and adjusted the trip itinerary to suit me. Chris was also very efficient, organising the trip for me at the last minute. The trip itself was a fantastic experience. I deliberately opted for a packed itinerary to see a wide variety of Uganda's landscapes, wildlife and cultures and make the most of the time that I had, and it was even better than I'd hoped. Timothy, the driver and guide arranged by Gorilla Explorers, was safe, professional, cheerful and a pleasure to travel with, and all the accommodation was of a high standard. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, and can highly recommend booking via Gorilla Explorers. I think Chris offers great value for great services.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that your 12-day trip to Uganda, organized through Gorilla Explorers, was a fantastic experience. It's great to know that Chris's communication, responsiveness, and efficiency in adjusting the itinerary and organizing the trip last minute met your expectations. We pride ourselves on providing excellent service and value. We are especially pleased that Timothy, your driver and guide, contributed significantly to your enjoyment with his safe, professional, and cheerful demeanor. Ensuring high-standard accommodation and a packed itinerary that exceeded your hopes for experiencing Uganda's diverse landscapes, wildlife, and cultures is precisely what we aim for. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to assisting other travelers in creating equally memorable experiences. Thanks Immy 🦍🐘🦒🦏

Amazingly Unique!
This was a first time visit to Uganda for me and one I did not want to try on my own. I contacted Chris with Gorilla Explorers, and from start to finish I have to say it was outstanding. I was bringing my wife, daughter and son in law and really wanted a special trip. The gorilla trek was just that and much more! Our trip was 7 days. We traveled to various spots in Uganda exploring the national parks, local villages, and even schools. It all culminated with the gorilla trek, which was by far more than I could have hoped for. You can't change the land or the animals, they are what they are, but you can pick the right outfitter to make sure ALL the details are worked out in advance so the trip comes off seamlessly. Chris the logistic expert, Hubert our amazing guide and travel companion, and of course the precious people and animals of Uganda made for the perfect experience. Priced fair, planned well, and executed perfectly made this a trip of a lifetime. You cannot go wrong using Gorilla Explorers!!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Kim, for sharing your wonderful feedback about our safari trip. We're so glad to hear that our guides, Chris and Herbert, were able to provide you with an exceptional experience. At Gorilla Explorers, we strive to create lifelong memories for our clients, and it's great to know that we were able to achieve that for you.

12 Days Uganda Wildlife tour with Chimpanzee and Gorillas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 12 Days Uganda Wildlife tour with Chimpanzee and Gorillas cost?
+
Prices start at $7,655 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 Days Uganda Wildlife tour with Chimpanzee and Gorillas 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 Days Uganda Wildlife tour with Chimpanzee and Gorillas 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 12 Days Uganda Wildlife tour with Chimpanzee and Gorillas?
+
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 Days Uganda Wildlife tour with Chimpanzee and Gorillas 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 Days Uganda Wildlife tour with Chimpanzee and Gorillas?
+
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 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 12 Days Uganda Wildlife tour with Chimpanzee and Gorillas 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.
