    Amazing Trip!

    We had an amazing 8-day safari with Emmkamp Tours, exploring Uganda’s incredible wildlife as a couple. The chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest was thrilling, the game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park were full of unforgettable sightings, and seeing the lionesses with their cubs was a true highlight. The gorilla trekking in Bwindi was the experience of a lifetime, especially getting so close to the gorillas and seeing a baby in the family. Everything was perfectly organized by Charles, and our guide Dan was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout. The lodges were safe, comfortable, and served great meals. Emmkamp Tours made our adventure smooth, memorable, and truly special. We highly recommend Emmkamp Tours to anyone looking for an authentic gorilla, chimpanzee, and wildlife safari experience in Uganda.

    8 Days Uganda Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking Safari: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 8 Days Uganda Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $4,263 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 Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking Safari 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 Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking Safari?

    +

    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 Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking Safari 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 Days Uganda Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking Safari?

    +

    Around 2 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 Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking 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 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 Days Uganda Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking Safari?

    +

    Included: All transportation (Unless labeled as optional); All accommodation (Unless listed as upgrade); All activities (Unless labeled as optional); All Taxes/VAT; and Lunch. Not included: Tips (Tipping guideline US$10.00 pp per day); Personal items (Souvenirs, travel insurance, visa fees, etc.); and Government imposed increase of taxes and/or park fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 8 Days Uganda Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking Safari include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Kampala. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    +

    +

    What happens to 8 Days Uganda Wildlife, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking Safari if the weather is bad?
