Perfect trip to Uganda
I went to visit Uganda with a group of 6 friends and were so lucky to join Amos and Shane! They were really kind and welcoming since the first moment, sharing they love for the country and the culture to us, and also sharing their amazing complete knowledge! They always had a yes for us in all our demandings. I feel like this trip began with a Group of 6 friends and ended up being a group of 8. Thanks to them we fell in love with Uganda and their people, and I am sure we will get back sooner than later to reunite and visit the places we missed this time. Actually, Uganda brougth us the pleasure to be able to see the Big 5 + chimpances! So I would not change a piece of this trip, and will forever reccommend it to everyone. Thanks for everything!
Response from the operator: It was a pleasure sharing a momet with you my friend. Hope to see you again in Uganda. All the best in your next travels

The best trip of our lives in Uganda!
Uganda, as they rightly warned us from the beginning, is the Pearl of Africa. Without high expectations, we didn't want to believe it at first so as not to be disappointed. During these 8 days, we have discovered that they were right. Every different activity we have done has impressed us; each one had its own little charm, the activity itself or the people who accompanied us on the activity. Certainly, it is worth noting that this experience would not have been the same without Amos and Shane. These two people have made our trip three times as special; all the spectacular landscapes, safaris, and experiences have been much better thanks to them. Do not hesitate to choose them as your guides because they certainly will not disappoint you. Thank you for the good energy and for the passion that you have transmitted to us and have infected us with regarding your country. The Pearl of Africa will not disappoint you; it is a secret paradise. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this Wonderful review about us..

The pearl of Africa
An unforgettable experience in Uganda 🇺🇬 After 8 days of safari through Uganda, we can only say thank you to Amos and Shane for letting us discover “The pearl of Africa”. We have been able to enjoy incredible landscapes, discover the local culture, and see a lot of animals (among them the big 5). But, above all, we want to thank the team for their professionalism, friendliness, and attention throughout the trip. We have felt accompanied and cared for at all times, as if we were part of the same family. Uganda has surprised us a lot and we will surely return. Thank you very much for everything and for making our safari such a special adventure. Thank you! 🇺🇬
Response from the operator: Thank you too for being an amazing team player, we look forward to hosting you again

Discovering the Pearl of Africa with Amos and Shane!!!!
We have spent some incredible days with Shane and Amos, who have shown us the beauty of the Pearl of Africa with enormous passion and affection. We have lived a super complete experience: we have done all kinds of activities, enjoyed safaris, and seen an incredible number of animals, but we have also had the opportunity to get to know the culture, the people, and the way of life in Uganda up close. Shane and Amos have made every day special, taking care of every detail and transmitting their love for their country to us. We are taking away unforgettable memories, so many stories, and, above all, a huge desire to return. 100% recommended if you want to discover Uganda in an authentic, fun, and special way. Thanks for everything, Shane and Amos! ❤️🇺🇬
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review about your trip

8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile cost?
+
Prices start at $3,560 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 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile take?
+
Plan for about 192 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 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile?
+
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 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile?
+
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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile 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 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile?
+
Included: Private transportation; Entrance fees; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Meals; Gratuities; All Visa charges; and Single Supplement in the Room. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Kampala. Be ready about 40 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile 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 8-Day Best of Uganda Honeymoon Big5 Wildlife Safari & The Nile?
+
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.
