    Wonderful family trip in the Pearl of Africa!

    It was a fantastic trip, far exceeding all our expectations. Precise organization, first-class accommodations, maximum service, excellent guide. The standard tour was fine tuned according to our interest and request. Sedrick was very flexible, managing changes due to our flight schedule modification and offered accomodation upgrades during our trip. Our guide Mubarack is the best!

    Incredible memories !!

    We saw so many amazing wild animals, huge thanks to our guide Winter, who really went the extra mile during the game drives to make it all happen. The company was super flexible and helped us tweak the itinerary to match what we were into. Honestly, we don’t have enough words to thank Ngoni Safaris and Winter for all the unforgettable memories.

    10th wedding anniversary trip

    I’m gonna try to make this short and sweet. Ngoni is a legit company and more affordable than other tour operators I’ve contacted. All the accomodations we have stayed at were superb! They were on great locations and offered amazing amenities. Sedrick planned what I wanted for our 10th wedding anniversary trip to a T! The only thing I can suggest is for Sedrick to communicate a little better. He gets the job done and I know he does everything but an update to the customers about what to expect or when to expect it would put their minds at ease. I’ll give a shout out to our tour guide Steven and I hope he reads this! He was friendly to all, efficient, funny, wise and knowledgeable.. This man can drive- whether it’s on smooth roads or rough roads! Very professional and skillful. ! He tried to keep the car clean and he dressed professional the entire time we were with him. You can tell he loves his job. We faced a little issue with our vehicle and he got it figured out and got us from point A to point B on a timely manner. We didn’t really see a lion when we were at Murchison Falls NP but he took us back at dusk and waited for a couple hours and saw 3! We are so grateful that he was with us. We felt safe the entire time. My favorite part of the trip aside from the sightings and the gorillas/chimps is driving past the local villages. Seeing how people live, what the markets/houses look like, what people wear on a daily basis, the kids’ smiles, the hustle and bustle of this side of the world. It gave me a new perspective on life. Uganda has now a special place in our hearts and I hope to return again one day! 🫶🏼

    Ngoni was the best operator choice to visit Uganda!

    My wife and I wanted to do something special to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We were excited about the Mountain Gorilla trekking safari. After some research we decided to contact Ngoni Safaris. It was the best decision and the most memorable journey ever. Sedrick from Ngoni help us with planning the trip. He was very helpful and forthcoming. he promptly answer all our queries and provided useful advice. Our guide Steven was awesome! He told us so many things about Uganda, its geography, its people, its culture and the local food. It would take several pages to describe the fascinating encounters with wildlife and the mingling with the locals during these 8 days. The Mountain Gorilla encounter is a once in a life experience. All lodges were located in beautiful locations and were very comfortable. We strongly recommend that you consider Ngoni Safaris for your trip to Uganda. You won't regret it.

    8-Day Murchison Falls, Chimp and Epic Gorilla Trekking: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.

    How much does 8-Day Murchison Falls, Chimp and Epic Gorilla Trekking cost?

    +

    Prices start at $4000 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 Murchison Falls, Chimp and Epic Gorilla Trekking 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 Murchison Falls, Chimp and Epic Gorilla Trekking worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 37 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 Murchison Falls, Chimp and Epic Gorilla Trekking?

    +

    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 Murchison Falls, Chimp and Epic Gorilla Trekking 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 Murchison Falls, Chimp and Epic Gorilla Trekking?

    +

    Around 13 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 Murchison Falls, Chimp and Epic 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.
