Recommended Private Tour
We booked a 11-day private tour with Gazelle Safari in June 2025. We went to a number of places including Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and got to see families of gorillas, chimpanzees and golden monkeys. We were assigned to visit a family of 13 gorillas (with 2 silverbacks and 2 babies), and got to see them for 1 - 1.5 hours with a short 20-minute walk into the forest. Our cheerful guide, Hillary, has taken great care of us, and the service level was very high. He drove safely. He even prepared small picnics (with table set up) for us after long trekkings, and this really made this private tour stood out from the others. A very good choice of hotels that served good food and drinks. One of the hotels even offered free flow for the entire stay. Communications on pick-up time and location was also very clear.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for travelling with Gazelle Safari Company. I am glad that we met your expectations. We are proud to have Hillary, a customer-centric guide, on our team. Your review will help many travellers make decisions on who to travel with. I hope our paths cross again some day.

Murchison Falls Nature Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does Murchison Falls Nature Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $1,010 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 Murchison Falls Nature Safari take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 Murchison Falls Nature Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Murchison Falls Nature 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 Murchison Falls Nature Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Murchison Falls Nature Safari?
+
Around 0 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Murchison Falls Nature 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 Murchison Falls Nature Safari?
+
Included: Transport + fuel cost; Park entry fees, photo coverage + mineral water on safari; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Optional activities; Other drinks except mineral water; and Tips & Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Murchison Falls Nature Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 607 listed pickup locations in and around Kampala. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Murchison Falls Nature Safari offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Murchison Falls Nature Safari?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Murchison Falls Nature Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible.
