Gorilla trek
Not only did we get to see gorillas after a beautiful hike,we stayed in some great places. Unique and peaceful. Tyson our guide kept us entertained with music on the long journeys and made us feel safe. He even helped us out by taking a short cut to the airport via a ferry! Something we were not expecting Would thoroughly recommend the trip!

Uganda with Pamoja
An amazing experience. Pamoja Tours and Travel are real professionals. From day one of the booking the communication was great, answering all of my questions. Thanks specifically to Regina and Sperito for making everything go smoothly. From tour guides, transportation and hotels all first class. Thanks again for making this trip so special !!! I’ll be back in Uganda and 100% will make arrangements with Pamoja for the next experience .

Great choice
We went on a 3-day gorilla trekking trip, but ended up extending the trip thanks to our wonderful guide Sperito, who always plans and tailors the best trips for us. His flexibility makes our vacation time more relaxed and filled with memorable experiences! We got to see Lake Mburo National park in addition to Bwindi impenetrable rainforest and Lake Bunyonyi. The accommodations on this trip were also definitely my favourite from all I have ever been to! Gorilla trekking was unforgettable, Bwindi is a magical place in the morning fog and the mountain gorillas so amazing to witness in their natural habitat. I can say the trip was worth evey penny. Previous trip we took with Pamoja Tours was a tour to Jinja and Sipi Falls, and also Ssezibwa Falls on the way. We did white water tubing on the Nile and abseiling in Sipi Falls, and both experiences made me absolutely overcome myself and gave me adrenaline rushes I've never felt before. Experiencing the rapids of the Nile and the breathtaking nature of Sipi Falls left a lasting impression that I'll always be greatful for. Sipi especially is a place I recommend everyone to see! Sperito and Daniel were great guides to us, answering questions and listening to our wishes, in addition to sense of humor that makes the trip more fun. I can say Sperito has become a friend! Pamoja is a great company with great values ja respectable ambitions and a desire to make a difference not only in great tourism experiences but also for the wellbeing of the local communities. Supporting them supports a good cause and rewards you greatly in return.

3-Day Gorilla Trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 3-Day Gorilla Trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest cost?
+
Prices start at $1,900 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 3-Day Gorilla Trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 3-Day Gorilla Trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Kampala, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Gorilla Trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3-Day Gorilla Trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Gorilla Trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest?
+
Around 7 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Gorilla Trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest 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.

+
