    It’s was pleasant indeed

    Hi This is Sara Alameri national from Dubai, I booked by trip with Denis and he was my quide for the 4 days tour I had splendid time especially with gorilla 🦍 trekking and also chimpanzee trekking it was amazing indeed especially when I was surprised with two different location celebrations with my 42nd birthday 🎂 thank you for the nice gesture, I have selected medium range accommodation but it was nice and clean with friendly stuff to accommodate me, you can also selected luxury accommodation but it’s was enough for me traveling solo, along the was I had different other experiences such as pigmy’s village, tea plantation, I would highly recommend this agency and you can also make pleasant memories with them

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Sara,it was nice to spend time with you for your birthday here in Uganda May Allah bless you

    Uganda is amazing! Best memories! We could not ask for more.

    One of the best trips to Africa! Dennis greeted us with open arms on our 12 day adventure and we could not have asked for anything more. Dennis is a very personable person, speaks very clear and kindly. Where ever we went everyone knows him which says a lot! Dennis is a wealth of knowledge about Uganda. We loved all of our activities planned especially the villages and schools but especially loved our gorilla and chimp treks. The accommodations were all fantastic. Uganda people are all so welcoming and friendly and my favorite times were with all the children we came across. The food was great and the white wine was the best I’ve had! We felt so safe and so comfortable with Dennis. He has created memories for us that will last a life time. He made sure we had everything we needed and was extremely patient. He goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend Pearl Nature. You will not be disappointed.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Kristen, Miss you all so bad here already! You guys were amazing and great company can’t imagine,I hope we meet again soon, Sending lots of love and hugs

    Gorilla and chimp experience holiday: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Gorilla and chimp experience holiday cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,800 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 Gorilla and chimp experience holiday take?

    +

    Plan for about 24 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 Gorilla and chimp experience holiday worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 28 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 Gorilla and chimp experience holiday?

    +

    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 Gorilla and chimp experience holiday suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gorilla and chimp experience holiday?

    +

    Around 10 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gorilla and chimp experience holiday 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 Gorilla and chimp experience holiday?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Tips; Visa; Travel insurance; and Items of personal nature. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Gorilla and chimp experience holiday include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Kampala. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Gorilla and chimp experience holiday offered in?

    +
