    Amazing safari, well organised, good communication and excellent safari guide

    Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda organised an amazing safari for our honeymoon. We visited the most beautiful safari spots in Uganda and saw all of the big 5. The hotels we stayed in were beautiful and exactly what we needed to relax after busy days on the road. Our communication with the company was excellent and very responsive. We had a very knowledgeable and entertaining safari guide (Gerald) who listened to our requests but also made sure we got our money’s worth and ensured we saw all of the best sights. They also organised hassle free travel to and from the airport, even when our flight changed location at the last minute. We would definitely recommend Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda again.

    Response from the operator: Thanks 🙏

    Memories to last a lifetime!

    Ecovic Tours went above and beyond to provide the most amazing 14 day safari for my fiancé and me! Truly, every day brought something new and spectacular. We talked to other travelers who would bemoan not seeing the leopards, we saw two! We heard people say that the tree climbing lions had left the Ishasha sector, but we saw them and cubs! Frank was our friend and guide for the 14 days and he always found what we were looking for, I am so grateful we were with him! Victor was very helpful in setting everything up and providing clear communication. He was very patient with us, as we sorted out a payment issue upon arrival. And for anyone unsure about the best way to wire funds, I’ve learned that the Wise app is best for transferring money from the US to Stanbic Bank, after my bank wouldn’t wire, and other apps charged exorbitantly high fees or used poor exchange rates. Victor and Frank also worked together to get our delayed luggage delivered to us in rapid order! I couldn’t believe how smoothly they make everything work. It was the trip of a lifetime, and though I’m home now, I still relive the moments, and am forever grateful for the experiences provided by Ecovic Tours!

    Murchison Falls

    It was great seeing a rainbow in the most powerful waterfall in the world. The game drives and boat cruise were extremely perfect. Viewing lions at the Albert region made my tour a complete one. I recommend it to travellers visiting Uganda.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for reviewing us....we look forward to hosting you again

    16-Days Around Uganda Safari: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 16-Days Around Uganda Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $13,470 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 16-Days Around Uganda Safari take?

    +

    Plan for about 384 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 16-Days Around Uganda 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 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.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 16-Days Around Uganda 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 16-Days Around Uganda Safari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 384-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 16-Days Around Uganda 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 384-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 16-Days Around Uganda 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 16-Days Around Uganda Safari?

    +

    Included: Morning, Afternoon & Sunset Game drives at Murchison Falls National Park; Airport transfer; Morning, Afternoon & Sunset Game drives at Queen Elizabeth National Park; Chimps Tracking permits at Kyambura Gorge or Kalinzu Forest Reserve; and Lunch. Not included: Airfares (International Air tickets and airport taxes); Visa Fees; Personal Insurance; and Expenses of personal nature such as; drinks (alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages), tips, l. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 16-Days Around Uganda Safari 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 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is 16-Days Around Uganda 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 16-Days Around Uganda 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 16-Days Around Uganda 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 16-Days Around Uganda Safari if the weather is bad?

    +
