A truly unforgettable experience
I had the most incredible time travelling through Uganda with Pilot from Pieland Gorilla company. From the moment the trip started, he made everything feel smooth, safe, and genuinely enjoyable. The highlight for me was definitely the gorilla trekking...seeing mountain gorillas up close in the wild was emotional, surreal, and something I’ll never forget. It’s one of those rare experiences that stays with you forever. If you’re planning a trip to Uganda, I can’t recommend travelling with him enough

Pieland is an amazing guide. Super informative! Actually he becomes your friend right away! He solves any problems on the way! You don’t have local money? No problem! Your credit card doesn’t work? No problem! You’re running out of gas, you don’t have a local sim card, you don’t know how to cross county border? Pieland is always here for you 24/7! He doesn’t sleep to be here for you all the time! Super honest. Cheerful. Knows his business very well! Highly recommended!

Stunning! Amazing! The best safari company in town.
Hello everyone! My name is Yulia. Recently I went to Uganda as a solo traveller and I booked my trip with Pilot and his company "PieLand Gorrilla Safaris". After visiting over 50 countries I can say that this was one of the best trips in my life. Pilot he accommodate all my requests and he is most happy and cheerful guy I ever met. He is very knowledgable about animals and uganda and can answer all your questions. You will be very comfortable travelling with him long distances (nice car, AC, water, snacks) all you need he will provide. I did 3 days gorrilla trekking experience which is a must and we went to see lake bunyoni which is one of the stunning views ever. As well we did night safari where you can see different animals living night life such as hyenas, zebras, leopard, impalas, hippo, etc. As well we did walking safari and you get very close to the girrafe in their habitat. It was amazing experience. I highly recommend "PieLand Gorilla Safaris" and Pilot. You will be enjoying every single moment with him! Thank you.
Response from the operator: Hello yulia , thanks for taking your precious time to review our service . You were a such an amazing client through the entire trip . Glad you enjoyed the safari from day one to day last . We appreciate your feedback and looking forward to provide more better travel services in future safaris . Thank you

Amazing once in a lifetime experience!
In case anyone’s looking for a great gorilla tracking experience, I just had an absolutely amazing time with Pilot Alinaitwe from Pieland Gilorilla Safaris. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make my trip everything I wanted and more. We had so much fun together, and he really did everything he could to give me an amazing wildlife experience, as well as an authentic Ugandan experience. Oh, and best part was how he tailored the trip to include what I wanted, what I was happy to skip, and to how much time and money I was able to spend. Amazing the amazing things we did was gorilla trekking at Bwindi Impenetrable NP and a walking safari and night safari at Lake Mburo NP, where we saw hippos, water bucks, buffalo’s, giraffes, antelope, leopards, zebras, baboons and more! Highly, highly recommend him! His Instagram is pielandgorillasafaris.
Response from the operator: Hi Sarah. Thanks for reviewing us and traveling with us . We are thrilled to hear that you had a great safari and we appreciate your feedback and looking forward to serve you again in future .

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Day Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 3-Day Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $1,700 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 Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience 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 Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience 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 13 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 3-Day Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience?
+
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 3-Day Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience 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 Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience?
+
Around 5 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 Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience 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 3-Day Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience?
+
Included: Bottled water; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; and Airport and departure taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 3-Day Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 99 listed pickup locations in and around Kampala. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 3-Day Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. 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 3-Day Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience?
+
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 3-Day Private Guided Gorilla Trekking Uganda and Batwa Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
