⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An incredible experience in Uganda with NGONI Safaris And the best driver Steven Schumacher
Today we finished our safari in Uganda, and I’m leaving with the feeling that I’ve experienced one of those trips I’ll remember for a very long time. The itinerary was very complete and allowed us to discover completely different places and landscapes: Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi and Lake Bunyonyi. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, went chimpanzee trekking and, of course, experienced one of those moments that stay with you forever: coming face to face with mountain gorillas in Bwindi. The lodges were also a really lovely part of the trip. Each one had something special and they all fitted perfectly into the itinerary: from Tilenga Safari Lodge in the Murchison Falls area, to Turaco Treetops surrounded by forest, Enshama, Dorotia’s in Bwindi and finally Milele Lodge overlooking beautiful Lake Bunyonyi. It was wonderful to see the landscape and accommodation change as we travelled through the country. But if I have to highlight one person above everyone else, it has to be Steven Schumacher, our “small boss” 😂. I honestly don’t think we could have had a better companion for this trip. As a driver, he is incredible. He managed to take us along some roads that, to be honest, I’m not sure should even be called roads 😂, and he did it with incredible skill, patience and, above all, safety. I never felt unsafe, even on the most challenging journeys. As a guide, he was fantastic too. Always alert to every animal, making sure we didn’t miss anything and always happy to explain everything we were seeing. But what I will remember most about Steven is the person he is. He was warm, funny, polite, incredibly attentive and always so caring towards us. We had some great conversations, lots of laughs and many moments that we’ll probably remember for a very long time. And in the end, that’s what makes a trip go from being simply a good trip to becoming a truly special one. Steven, thank you for taking such good care of us, for your patience, the conversations, the laughs and for making sure that even after hours on the road, we still felt ready for another adventure. 😂 It was a real pleasure having you as our driver, guide and travel companion. Our “small boss” has definitely earned a special place in our memories of Uganda. ❤️ And thank you to the whole NGONI Safaris team for organising this trip and making everything run so smoothly. I’m leaving Uganda with incredible memories, thousands of photos, a few sore muscles after the trekking 😂 and, above all, the feeling that I’ve had a truly wonderful experience. Thank you for everything, NGONI. And thank you, Steven, for making this trip even more special. ❤️🇺🇬🦍 If I ever come back to Uganda, I really hope I get to meet my “small boss” again. Because after seven days together… he’s definitely become part of the trip! 😂

Excelling planning and execution of this multi day safari trip. The team took care of all my needs to make it memorable.
Excellent planning by the team for this comprehensive multi day itinerary. Everything went very well as planned. We started with rhino and waterfalls in murchison , then did game drive in murchison where we spotting all wild animals that can be seen for 4 hours and then waterfalls. It also included guided tour near waterfalls for additional information. We had a good stay in Kibale and did a nature walk / culture tour. Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale and gorilla tracking in Bwindi went very well. Finally 1 night stay in lake bunyoni kept me relaxed. Overall , great trip organized by Ngoni team.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking cost?
+
Prices start at $3,400 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 7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking take?
+
Plan for about 168 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 7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking?
+
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 7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking?
+
Around 8 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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking 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 7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking?
+
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 7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking 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 7-Day Murchison Falls, Chimps & Gorilla Trekking 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.
