Amazing gorilla trekking in Uganda
Gard was our amazing driver for our Safari trip from the Kigali Airport in Rwanda to our hotel and then on to crossing the border into Uganda and on to our Lodge in the Rwindi Impenetrable Forest (and back again at the end). He always had bottled water available for us in the car which mattered so much! We felt totally safe with his careful driving (as Rwandans drive on the right side and Ugandans drive on the left). He helped us negotiate security and immigration. We made lovely stops along the way to eat, photograph and purchase items. In addition, Gard was so knowledgeable and shared his information with us during the trip from sites and wildlife along the drive, the history of the countries, to essential safety precautions. While at our lodge, he would meet with us each evening so we could prepare for the upcoming treks, helping us to rent gators, get masks, and review the supplies to pack. He would cheerfully drive us each day, multiple times (regardless of the early morning departures), and then diligently wait for us (for many hours) while we trekked. While he waited, he continued to educate himself by reading books on the bat populations and bird varieties in Bwindi, to share this knowledge with others. He had just completed his college degree in Accounting (amazing) and yet still continues learning. One of the most admirable qualities that I appreciated in Gard was his calm and patient personality: nothing shocked him or frustrated him- he was always cheerful and helpful. We did have a Visa issue at the border and he calmly and patiently helped us maneuver through. We also had trouble with ATMs and he would cheerfully drive us to other ATMs until we had success. If we had a question or concern, he would find the answer. If I was getting car sick, he would drive slower and make stops along the way. Gard Florence is the one who made this trip a success, as he totally customized our tour to suit us individually. We highly recommend Gard, as he was definitely worth a generous tip! Thank you so much Gard. Ngoni mistakenly double charged us when signing up which took some time to reverse the charges. We scheduled two days of Gorilla Trekng through Ngoni and they were amazing experiences which we will always treasure 💕 We had a beautiful cabin at the border of the impenetrable forest, with delicious meals and excellent service. The temperatures were very chilly in the evening inside the cabin, so they provided hot water bottle and blankets, which kept us warm. The hotel near the airport was excellent and the free transportation to and from the hotel/airport was beneficial. This was an amazing once in a lifetime experience!

What a bucket list trip!
What an amazing experience!! Seeing the silverback gorilla has been on my bucket list forever and this safari delivered. Our guide was Chris Atumanya and he did a fantastic job. We were totally in his hands for four days and he did a fantastic job from start to finish - making everything stress-free and running like clockwork. I recommend you ask for him! In fairness, there were some glitches with the front office but everything worked out in the end and we had a really memorable time - hence the five stars. Feel free to reach out with questions.

Experience of a lifetime
The trip was amazing. Our tour guide Gard was so great and helpful in creating a positive and welcoming experience for us throughout the tour. They picked us up from our hostel, he was flexible with movements and very knowledgeable to both Rwandan and Ugandan culture. As 2 backpackers in our 20’s we couldn’t recommend this tour and Gard high enough.

Awesome Ugandan Chimp + Gorilla Trek
Reagen made my gorilla trekking experience unforgettable. He knows a lot about animal behavior, even chimpanzees as he spent a stint working as a volunteer researcher there. Every moment with him was a learning experience. He shared details about conservation efforts and ecosystems without overwhelming me, blending facts with engaging stories. What stood out was his enthusiasm—you could tell he genuinely loved teaching others about Uganda’s wildlife. As a solo traveler, he was great to have. He adjusted the pace to my needs, answered endless questions, and connected me with local communities to explore Ugandan culture firsthand. Highly recc if you want a guide who’s both deeply knowledgeable and genuinely thoughtful!

Once in a lifetime experience!
It was absolutely amazing to be able to experience the gorillas in their natural environment. Our guide Smith was very knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile. We ended up having flight issues and Ngoni Safari was able to accommodate and make things work despite a challenging schedule. Would absolutely recommend as it’s a once in a life time experience!

4 Day Gorilla Trekking & Golden Monkeys: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 4 Day Gorilla Trekking & Golden Monkeys cost?
+
Prices start at $3,000 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 Trekking & Golden Monkeys 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 Trekking & Golden Monkeys worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 21 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 4 Day Gorilla Trekking & Golden Monkeys?
+
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 4 Day Gorilla Trekking & Golden Monkeys 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 Trekking & Golden Monkeys?
+
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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4 Day Gorilla Trekking & Golden Monkeys 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 Trekking & Golden Monkeys?
+
Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; Lunch; Dinner; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 4 Day Gorilla Trekking & Golden Monkeys 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 24 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 4 Day Gorilla Trekking & Golden Monkeys 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 4 Day Gorilla Trekking & Golden Monkeys?
+
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 4 Day Gorilla Trekking & Golden Monkeys wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to 4 Day Gorilla Trekking & Golden Monkeys if the weather is bad?
