    Fort portal visit

    Emmanuel was prompt, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. He took us too and from Chimp trekking and around the Crater Lake areas. He was great organising onward transport and making sure we were collected at the other end of the bus journey. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends.

    Response from the operator: Wonderful review, Thank you so much Vernon and Matt for choosing Trek Rwenzori Tours!.

    Rwenzori 7 days + Murchison Falls Safari

    We booked our 7 days trek and Murchison Falls Safari with Trek Rwenzori Tours and we could not have better service and experience. We originally booked our tour with another agency that cancelled us 2 days before our trip. Fortunately we could find Emmnauel (Trek Rwenzori Tours) that quickly organised everything for us, matching the same price and even including more activities. For the Murshison Falls Safari (3 days all included), we got picked up from Kampala and visited the Rhino Sanctuary on the first day, on the second we had 2 game safari around Murchison Falls where we had the chance to see nearly every animal living there (Giraffes, Elephants, Buffalo, Impalas, Hienas, Leopards, etc). We also did a boat safari to the falls where we could see even more animals (different birds, herds of elephants, hipos, crocodiles, etc). In the 3rd day we were driven to the start of our trek in the Rwenzori Mountains. Emmanuel drive us to the start of the trek the day before (including this extra night accommodation) and picked us once we finished. Everything was really well organised (equipment, guides, porters, food, etc) and we had an an unforgettable experience. Submitting Margarita Peak was more challenging that I thought (I'd grade it AD- or PD+) but with the help of your guides and some basic mountaineering techniques should not be too difficult. I'll recommend Emmanuel and Trek Rwenzori Tours to every friend asking me about tips for Uganda. He will take care of every detail and always making sure you are having the best experience.

    Response from the operator: Monica: Wow!, I love that Victor, this great review has made my day -:) Thanks, Emmanuel is already a ware of this review and sending greetings to you and Caroline. I hope also you had a great experience with Gorillas in Bwindi. We hope to meet you again!.

    Tracking Rwenzori + Safari Murchison Falls

    The track in Rwenzori mountains was great, I was doing 6 days to reach Mt. Baker and I made as a beginner in climbing. They borrowed me everything - sleeping bag, cap, rope, there were potter to take my stuff, chief and very professional climbers. The only thing is, that they forgot to take me gloves, but in the end I didn't need them. == GREAT 5/5 Also make Murchison safari with them. It was also great, we've seen Rhino sanctuary also and seen elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles and another animals. We haven't seen lions. So I think we could stay longer in the park, until 18, but we left already at 17:15. But we were also quite tired already, that's true. == Very good 4/5 And both trips were very cheap, that's also a plus!

    Response from the operator: THANKS! What a lovely and descriptive review. Love it!. This brought a hug smile to my face :), Can't wait to see you again with friends for the Rwenzori Summit!.

    Hiking in lower rwenzori range

    Emmanuel met me at my guesthouse/camp in fort portal to give me information about all the hikes available in the area. I ended up doing a hike in the lower ranges with a group I was able to join. I even forgot my hat an hour way and he was kind enough to bring it for me the next day. Overall I found him to be very helpful and recommend him to other hikers.

    Response from the operator: Emmanuel, Thanks Israa for your wonderful visit to Uganda and for having chosen Trek Rwenzori Tours, was our pleasure. We felt highly supported by your stay with us and having used of our service and accepting joining a group for a day hike in Rwenzori lower rangers, Your always welcome back to Uganda.

    3 Days Kibale National Park Chimpanzee Tracking: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3 Days Kibale National Park Chimpanzee Tracking cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,169 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 Days Kibale National Park Chimpanzee Tracking 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 Days Kibale National Park Chimpanzee Tracking worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 22 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 Days Kibale National Park Chimpanzee Tracking?

    +

    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 Days Kibale National Park Chimpanzee Tracking 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 Days Kibale National Park Chimpanzee Tracking?

    +

    Around 8 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 Days Kibale National Park Chimpanzee Tracking 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.
