Moments for eternity
6-day tour with gorilla trekking We wanted to see gorillas - we saw gorillas! In the travel guide Uganda 2025 by Jared J. Artis, HOME TO AFRIKA was mentioned, and we immediately contacted the agency and chose this tour. The booking and payment were problem-free. There were two of us (2 women), and thanks to our guide Eli, we felt safe, comfortable, and completely satisfied. He drove very carefully and explained a lot to us along the way and otherwise, and he readily accommodated our "small requests." The evening briefing and dinner became a beloved ritual, just like the shared meals. We were also pleased with the selection of hotels, and thus our expectations were not only exceeded, but we were also thoroughly impressed by the friendly and open manner. Thank you very much for these unforgettable moments here in Uganda!!! We wholeheartedly recommend our guide Eli, as we felt safe at all times with him, especially as women traveling alone in Africa.
Response from the operator: We are humbled for trusting us with your Ugandan adventure. It means the world to know that you felt safe, welcomed, and cared for throughout your journey. Eli will be delighted to hear how much you appreciated his guidance and companionship. We are honored to have been part of such special memories and hope to welcome you back to Uganda someday for another unforgettable experience. Warm wishes from all of us at Home to Africa!

Beautiful country
Beautiful experience, which introduces you to a magical country. Our guide Benon was fantastic, prepared and made us feel special. We managed to see everything and more, Too bad we couldn’t see the leopard, but it gives us the opportunity to always come back with “Home to Africa” and our special guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you had such a magical experience exploring Uganda with Benon, and that you felt so well taken care of throughout the trip. Even though you didn't get the chance to see a Leopard this time, we’re glad it gives you a perfect reason to return. We will be ready to welcome you back anytime for another amazing adventure!

Underrated Uganda!
We had an amazing experience in Uganda. We arrived for the gorillas and chimpanzees however were amazed by the abundance of other wildlife we witnessed travelling through Uganda. Our guide Derrick Wadria was a fantastic guide for my friend and I and made our experience a memorable one. He was able to answer all our questions and provided great insight, particularly with his knowledge of the different areas and wild animals. Hedmond in the office also ensured a smooth planning process.
Response from the operator: What a joy to hear that your time in Uganda was so memorable! It’s wonderful that the wildlife, beyond the gorillas and chimpanzees, amazed you throughout your journey. Derrick Wadria sounds like he made your trip truly special with his knowledge, friendliness, and guidance, while Hedmond ensured the planning went smoothly. We’re so happy your adventure was both enjoyable and insightful, and we would love to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience.

6 day safari and gorilla trekking
We spent 6 days in Uganda with home to Africa and Karim as our tour guide, exploring safaris and experiencing the unforgettable gorilla trekking and it was absolutely incredible! From the moment we met him, Karim made us feel safe, comfortable, and completely taken care of. His knowledge of the wildlife, the parks, and the local culture added so much depth to our trip, and his warm, friendly nature made every day a joy. If you’re thinking about visiting Uganda, I can’t recommend home to Africa enough unforgettable!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing feedback! We’re so glad to hear your 6-day Ugandan adventure with Karim and Home to Africa was unforgettable. It’s wonderful knowing he made you feel safe, cared for, and fully immersed in our wildlife and culture. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime!

An amazing trip!
An amazing 6 day trip in Uganda. I started the booking process around 8 months ago and there was great commutation over email to plan our trip. We were picked up from our hotel on our first day very promptly and from then the trip was so well organised throughout. We were able to see an array of wildlife during our safaris and of course the gorillas which was the highlight of the trip! The trip would not have been the same without our tour guide KARIM. Such a knowledgeable guide answering all our questions and giving us so much information about Uganda. He was such a caring man and we felt very safe with Karim. He even went out of his way to help us when we wanted to donate some books to the local orphanage and being very caring when I wasn’t feeling so well. All around a trip of a lifetime, made extra special by Karim!
Response from the operator: We’re so glad your 6-day trip turned into a true adventure of a lifetime—and even happier to hear how much Karim added to your journey. His kindness, knowledge, and genuine care always makes a difference. We appreciate you choosing to travel with us and hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments in Uganda! Thank you.

6-Day Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Tour in Uganda: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 6-Day Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Tour in Uganda cost?
+
Prices start at $2,685 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 6-Day Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Tour in Uganda take?
+
Plan for about 144 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 6-Day Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Tour in Uganda worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Kampala, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6-Day Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife 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 6-Day Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Tour in Uganda suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6-Day Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Tour in Uganda?
+
Around 4 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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6-Day Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife 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.
