Rwanda and Uganda adventure
We had a wonderful experience during our short trip to Rwanda and Uganda. Our trip leader Bruce was excellent, right from the start he was waiting for us at the airport and spent the rest of our trip making sure we had an enjoyable experience. His knowledge of both countries was great, he was a safe driver over the many hours of travel we had and just overall a lovely person. The itinerary was good and we saw a lot in a few short days. I would recommend doing some research before arriving, we had organised smaller notes to tip our trek leader and porter on the gorilla day but were not expecting to also tip trackers in the middle of the Bwindi national park. Accommodation was good, clean and meals to a high quality. We especially loved the stay at Bweza before our gorilla trek. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this company to friends and family. A few tips - take small notes, USD or local currency. For the gorilla hike, make sure you have gaiters, gardening gloves and light weight clothing. Most importantly, hire a porter… I am a fit and healthy 35yo but Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a whole situation and as a smaller person my amazing porter was literally pulling me through the jungle at times. It’s a jungle so humid, don’t wear too many layers as you will over heat but also make sure your arms and legs are covered.

We had an even better experience than we could have imagined.
We booked our gorilla trekking experience in Uganda with Lulu Safari, including one night at a lodge. We booked the trip without seeing much information or many photos beforehand, so we didn’t really know what to expect. In the end, the experience was even better than we could have imagined. Our tour guide, Bruce, was absolutely amazing. He guided us incredibly well, made sure we had everything we needed, and made the entire trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We truly didn’t feel like we were missing anything. The gorilla trekking itself was very well organised, and we were lucky enough to see seven gorillas up close. It was an incredible and unforgettable day that we will always remember. Everything was organised down to the smallest detail by Lulu Safari. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Amazing tour of Rwanda and Uganda!
Thanks to Lulu Safaris and my guide Stuart for arranging an amazing trip for me! I had an action packed itinerary that included gorilla and chimp trekking, boating and seeing other local sites. Stuart was a friendly and very accommodating host. I’d highly recommend Lulu for your next trip to Uganda.

Amazing 5-day Game drive, boat tour, Chimp and Gorilla Trekking
Had the best 5-day tour of Uganda with Lulu Safari's. We got to do several game drives, boat ride on Kazinga Channel, Chinp and Gorilla trekking. Our accommodation (arranged by Lulu) was amazing! Food, service and facilities were all fantastic. The best part about our tour was our guide Sarah! From the minute we were picked up we felt so welcome. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend booking with Lulu Safaris and requesting Sarah as your guide. She is simply the best tour guide we have had!

Akagera, Bwindi, and Volcanoes Safari
So we did an hybrid safari out of Kigali Rwanda. Includes Akagera, Bwindi, and Vacanoes (golden monkeys). Our guide was Smith and as the other reviews have already stated he’s outstanding. Very observant and quick to help. Also (most importantly) easy to talk to and associate with. He has a very mild demeanor and never showed stress, anxiety, or anger which is amazing considering some of the traffic he had to go through. If you’re going to be in a car for a long time that’s really important. As far as the safari itself everything went as planned. Gorillas are amazing and a must see. Only caution is the road to Bwindi is really really rough for 2Hrs. So if you suffer from car sickness beware. Unfortunately that’s the only way into the park. Akagera was fine for what it is. Small, fairly new park. Lot of brush and limited to staying on the roads so tricky to spot stuff. Would highly suggest going to Elizebeth Park in Uganda instead. Overall couldn’t be happier though. Picked the perfect company for the options we chose.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4-Day Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 4-Day Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $2,450 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 Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari 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 Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 59 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 Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari?
+
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 Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari 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 Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari?
+
Around 21 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 Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari 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 Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari?
+
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 Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari 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 1440 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 4-Day Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari 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 Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari?
+
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.
