A fabulous 9 day Ugandan safari with Pamoja Tours and Travel. A 'trip of a lifetime'.
My wife, son and his girlfriend- now fiancee- had a fabulous 9 day safari in Uganda with Pamoja Tours and Travel. Pamoja and our guide Amos were outstanding - communication pre trip was excellent and Amos was fantastic - very knowledgeable on all things wildlife and Uganda generally, a good driver and excellent company. The highlights were the 4 hours we spent with the chimpanzees on the habituation tour, the early morning game drives and the Murchison falls and Nile river. We saw the big five and many, many other impressive animals. Uganda was fascinating to drive through and seeing how other people live. For anyone thinking about a safari I would thoroughly recommend Uganda and Pamoja tours...who also take people to Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania... it was one of those 'trips of a lifetime'!

A once in a lifetime experience!
A HUGE thank you to everyone at Pamoja, with a special mention for our itinerary organiser Rejina and our guide and driver David, for making our honeymoon a once in a lifetime unforgettable trip around Uganda. We were blown away with the natural beauty and wildlife found in Uganda, and a big part in us seeing this was thanks to David. He went above and beyond taking us on impromptu game drives on the way between stops on our tour, and this meant we were able to see so many animals and large swathes of multiple national parks. The central reason we came to Uganda was to see gorillas in their natural habitat, and the gorilla trekking blew our expectations out of the water. The overall tour was so well organised, and Pamoja made the extra effort to share with hotels that it was our honeymoon which meant we had some lovely surprises along the way! We couldn't have wished for a better trip and are really grateful for having had David as our guide. He was very knowledgeable on all things wildlife, but beyond this we feel that we learnt a lot about the country of Uganda too. Not to forget that he is also an all round lovely person! Thank you all again, and we recommend Pamoja to anyone who is thinking of visiting Uganda and wants an amazing personalised private tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Sian, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that your honeymoon in Uganda was unforgettable and that you had such a special experience with Regina and David. It means a lot to know that the itinerary, wildlife encounters, and personal touches made your trip truly memorable. We’re especially happy that David’s passion and knowledge added so much to your journey. We deeply appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Uganda in the future! Warm regards, The Pamoja Tours and Travel Team

The Perfect Honeymoon Safari
My wife and I planned our honeymoon through Pamoja, and we were absolutely blown away. From the first email to the final day of our trip, everything exceeded our expectations. We did an 8-day safari through Uganda, with highlights including gorilla trekking, golden monkeys in Mgahinga, game drives in Murchison Falls, and a relaxing stay at Lake Bunyonyi—all in our own private safari Land Cruiser. Our guide, David, was the heart and soul of the trip. From the moment we met him, he was warm, knowledgeable, fun, and unbelievably attentive. His ability to spot wildlife was astonishing, and he constantly went above and beyond—squeezing in extra game drives, taking scenic routes to maximize animal sightings, and even coordinating honeymoon surprises with our lodges. Thanks to David, every day felt personal and special. By the end, he felt more like a friend than a guide. Behind the scenes, Regina made the planning effortless. She responded quickly, crafted a fantastic itinerary, and made sure every hotel, transfer, and detail was spot on. She also checked in during the trip to ensure everything ran smoothly and clearly put in the effort to match us with the perfect guide—David. Uganda itself is breathtaking, full of stunning landscapes, rich wildlife, and welcoming people. We saw four of the Big Five, golden monkeys, and of course, the unforgettable gorillas—a true once-in-a-lifetime moment. Endless thanks to Pamoja, Regina, and especially David for creating a honeymoon beyond our dreams. We’ll treasure this adventure forever.
Response from the operator: Dear Yaseen, Thank you so much for your heartfelt review—it truly means the world to us. We’re overjoyed that your honeymoon was everything you dreamed of and more. It was a pleasure working with you from the planning stages to the final day, and we’re thrilled that both Regina and David made your experience seamless, special, and unforgettable. Your kind words about Uganda’s beauty and your personalized safari journey are deeply appreciated. We hope to welcome you back one day for more adventures! Warmest regards, The Pamoja Tours and Travel Team

The experience of a lifetime!
I can’t say enough good things about this tour group. Since k was 16 years old (almost 30 years ago!) and saw Lion King for the first time, I have dreamed of traveling to see the beauty of Africa. Sperito and his team helped all of my dreams come true and were so kind and accommodating for the entirety of the trip.

9-Day Private Uganda Wildlife Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does 9-Day Private Uganda Wildlife Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $4,800 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 9-Day Private Uganda Wildlife Safari take?
+
Plan for about 216 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 9-Day Private Uganda Wildlife Safari 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 6 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 9-Day Private Uganda Wildlife 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 9-Day Private Uganda Wildlife Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 9-Day Private Uganda Wildlife 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 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 9-Day Private Uganda Wildlife 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 9-Day Private Uganda Wildlife Safari?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; Domestic flight; Breakfast; and Gorilla permits (One per person, non-resident). Not included: International flights (From/to home); Personal items (Souvenirs, travel insurance, visa fees, etc.); and Government imposed increase of taxes and/or park fees.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 117 listed pickup locations in and around Kampala. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 9-Day Private Uganda Wildlife Safari offered in?
+
