Trip of a lifetime!!! My sister and I booked this safari for her 50th birthday Jon did not disappoint!!!!
We booked through Safaris by Jon an Uganda based Safari company and had very specific criteria. Jon met ALL of our requests and exceeded our expectations. Never once did we feel unsafe visiting. The people of Uganda are amazing, kind and humble it was an amazing experience to meet each and every one of them. Jon's pricing for our 9 day luxury safari was well below price quotes we received from larger companies( companies out of the USA & Europe). I highly recommend both the Gorilla hike in Bewindi and the chimpanzee hike in Kibale Forest. A once in a lifetime experience. Our accommodations were spectacular: & Beyond Kitchwa Tempo, Masai Mara, Kenya Chimpundu Lodge, Kibale National Forest, Uganda Buhomo Lodge, Bwindi National Forest, Uganda

Efficient, well organized tour with the best guides!
I was travelling with a friend. This tour was one of the best I have ever done. The choice of accommodation was spot-on, great food, staff, comfort and surroundings. You can really get the best out of Uganda in 5 days. Our guide was Hillary, he was super competent, friendly and took individual requests into account. For example, he told the gorilla trekking rangers that we would like to be assigned to a family with a newborn, which is what happened ☺️ everything was great and tip top, highly recommended!

Excellent safari, beautiful nature, nice accomodation, professional guide and reasonable price 10/10
This company is very professional. We ordered a 5-day Safari, and it was amazing. The program was full of interesting activities. Accommodation was comfortable, clean, and safe. Moreover, our guide was an excellent man, with a huge passion and experience. I recommend Safaris by Jon, as it is a high-quality safari for a reasonable price. 10/10

Trip of a Lifetime
Trekking Chimpanzees is a one of a kind adventure. Coolest and most awe inspiring experience. Safaris by Jon excelled in planning and orchestrating the event. He clearly has contacts everywhere and was able to make our experience the best possible. I can't imagine trekking chimpanzees with anyone else. Jon went out of his way to make sure we had the best accommodations and the best trekking. He made sure to fulfill our every wish and every need. Thanks, Jon!!!!

We came as guests and left as friends after a fantastic 6-day-primate "Safari with Jon"
We had unforgettable days in Uganda, thanks to the great company of Jon! From the first contact to planning the itinerary to saying goodbye, we were looked after warmly and reliably! We planned our tour individually and Jon fulfilled all our wishes. On request, various options were checked and we got valuable recommendations - so in the end the trip was perfectly personalized and even unexpected requests on the way have been fulfilled with a smile - at the end we felt like friends! Thanks to his knowledge, we were given valuable tips on when and where to go, and we have learnt a lot about Uganda, its wildlife and its history. Jon was really ambitious to get us enthusiastic about his country and its people - and he succeeded 100%, We opted for the fly-in option and in hindsight were very glad that we didn't have to do all the transfers by 4x4, but of course the overland route has the advantage that you get to see a lot more of the villages along the roads, so it's no wasted time if you opt for this way of travelling.... and Jon is a great driver who skillfully tries avoid the potholes. We are very grateful for this incredible experience and highly recommend "Safaris by Jon" to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience at a very fair price in Uganda - the value for money is excellent!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda cost?
+
Prices start at $4,680 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 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda take?
+
Plan for about 96 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 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda?
+
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 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda?
+
Around 3 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda 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 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda?
+
Included: Private transportation; Other; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 24 listed pickup locations in and around Kampala. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda 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 4-Day Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking Luxury Fly-in Tour in Uganda?
+
