wonderful
I took part in a six-day tour organized by Bamboo Ecotours. It was simply fantastic. Even before the trip, I felt that I would be safe because Edison organized everything precisely, explained everything to me and answered all my questions immediately. The program was excellently organized, the accommodations were really nice and clean, the food was delicious and plentiful, and what we saw and experienced will remain unforgettable. Herbert, who was with us the whole time, even made sure that we could taste different types of bananas from Rwanda and Uganda. I sincerely recommend Bamboo Ecotours for everyone. I hope I will have the opportunity to go back.
Response from the operator: We are thrilled that your time in Uganda was fantastic, and we truly appreciate you trusting us with your travel experience. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!. We appreciate the recommendation. ~Edison & Team

Bamboo Ecotours is the best
As a seasoned traveller to Africa for over 60 years, Bamboo Ecotours has proven to be the best travel company I have ever used. Edison was very efficient and responsive and the plan we developed together unfolded smoothly, on-time and as expected. Jackson, our driver and guide, was professional, polite, trustworthy, careful and shared his passion for the land and and the wildlife. Over six days, my famly of three saw the beauty of Akagera National Park in eastern Rwanda and then made our way to Uganda for separate day treks for chimps, gorillas and golden monkeys in and around Bwindi National Park. We would definitely use Bamboo Eotours again and we give them the highest recommendation.
Response from the operator: We really appreciate your positive feedback. It is amazing to hear that you had the best experience with Bamboo Ecotours. We appreciate the recommendation, and we’re thrilled that your time in Uganda was memorable. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! ~ Edison & Team

Great experience, recommended
I was planning to go to Uganda for a while... and finally made it! I booked a 6-day Rwanda-Uganda option that eventually extended by 2 days to include Murchison Falls NP (totally worth it, don't skip it if you can, it was a cherry on the top to finish the tour). I was a bit concerned about the timing (end of November, still short rainy season), but we had amazing weather, just two short afternoon rains twice. With fewer tourists, and everything still beautifully green: different National Parks, a variety of animals, and lots of beautiful landscapes. This is the tour for those who want to enjoy nature! Starting this tour in Rwanda allowed me to get a glimpse of that country, and reduced time on the road in Uganda. Bamboo Ecotours was very helpful and responsive in slightly modifying the original itinerary to adapt to my needs. Very happy with the accommodations selection (especially Bweza near Bwindi NP & Bamboo near Murchison Falls NP), service, and food options, with all admission fees included in the price. Everything went very smoothly, and it's not always like that (been to multiple budget safaris in Africa). Special thanks to Herbert, my driver & guide, for making this experience great! Hope to make it one day back to both Uganda and Rwanda!
Response from the operator: We really apppreciate you taking time to leave us a five-star review.We are glad you had such a great experience during your trip. Thank you for recommending Bamboo Ecotours and we can't wait to serve you again. ~Edison and Team

One of the best vacations we ever had!
We had the best time during this tour! All the organization part was done with Edison via email, who was always very responsive. Arriving in Rwanda, we were picked up by our guide/drive Jackson, who did a tremendous job driving us around, telling us about both countries and making sure our dietary restrictions were being considered. The itinerary was perfect! We felt we did a lot without feeling tired. We cannot recommend this tour and agency enough! Definitely a vacation to remember forever.
Response from the operator: We are happy you had the best vacation experience with Bamboo Ectours. We sincerely appreciate your feedback. ~Edison and Team

perfect tour
Loved every second of it. And from the beginning they were amazing, explaining everything to me without being pushy. Edison is a very patient professional gentleman to arrange this with- who I believe is the Boss - and my lovely driver (now friend) John, amazing guy, amazing guide and the effort he put into showing me everything was fantastic. He is an amazing driver and smileyst tour guide Uganda and Rwanda is in now top of my favourite places in the world ..amazing landscapes, birds gorillas, chimps , lions and many more unique creatures..People are lovely, generous and friendly and man the food was to die for...fresh and delish Highly recommend
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your safari experience, and we are happy to hear you enjoyed every bit of it. We appreciate the recommendation. Edison and Team

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.
How much does 6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $2,885 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kigali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari 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 Kigali is not rushed.
Is 6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari?
+
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 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari 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 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari?
+
Around 5 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 Kigali 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 Kigali and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget 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 Kigali 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 Kigali?
+
On Outty we rank every Kigali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include One-day Akagera National Park Game Drive with a Choice 4x4, One Day Akagera Wildlife Safari, Kigali City Tour. 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 Kigali?
+
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 Kigali?
+
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 6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari?
+
Included: All permits (gorillas, golden monkeys and chimps) & guide/driver; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Visas, tips, and costs of personal nature. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 344 listed pickup locations in and around Kigali. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari 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 6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari?
+

Is 6 Days Rwanda Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
