The best Safari experience with the same company once again
Now, I have used this company before for my very fast safari and the kind of attention to detail they gave organizing our trip made book again with them. My family and I have just concluded our 8 days Safari and we we had everything just like we wanted. This time it was even better since everyday had a different surprise from the Anthony our organizer and we differently got that welcome back discount. Words alone cant do justice to the experience we had and our carefully selected accommodations. You wont regret using Friendly Gorillas....I haven't and will definitely use them again

Excellent organization
Excellent organization considering that Tony managed to plan the entire tour, permits for gorillas and chimpanzees included, just one day before departure. This is not taken for granted since the tour operator we had contacted months earlier canceled our trip 3 days before departure! Our driver Tony, who also served as our guide, was always caring and attentive to our needs. Uganda is a country full of natural wonders, and being able to enjoy it peacefully with the right quality-price ratio allows for a full experience of all the activities

We are so pleased to learn that you liked all accommodations we booked for you and we are happy that our services went as sooth as you expected. We are looking forward to seeing you in the coming adventures. Greetings to you and your family. Friendly Gorillas :)

Magnificent Safari Tour!
What a trip of a lifetime this was! We’ve been on the 9 Day Uganda Adventure tour and I cannot praise it enough! We had the best of accommodations, the food was delicious everywhere we went and every day was a different adventure in itself. We got to see the chimpanzees and gorillas from up close in their natural habitat, of course and been on amazing safaris that made us get a true taste of Africa and Uganda in particular. Many thanks to Anthony for the great organization of the tour and for his availability and swiftness in replying to my inquiries! Not the least, special shout out to Chris (one of the best guides I’ve met so far) – excellent driver, super accommodating with our requests, knowledgeable and responsible at all times. I highly recommend this tour and Chris most of all!
Response from the operator: Hi Alina, Thanks so much for this positive feedback. We are always passionate about ensuring your safari satisfaction is achieved. We look forward to receiving you next time. Much thanks :)

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8 days Uganda Primate & Wildlife safari tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 8 days Uganda Primate & Wildlife safari tour cost?
+
Prices start at $3138 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 days Uganda Primate & Wildlife safari tour 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 days Uganda Primate & Wildlife safari tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 days Uganda Primate & Wildlife safari tour?
+
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 days Uganda Primate & Wildlife safari tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 13. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 192-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 8 days Uganda Primate & Wildlife safari tour?
+
Around 1 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 days Uganda Primate & Wildlife safari tour 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.
