Memorable vacation organized by Afreek Tours!
We had an amazing touring experience with Afreek Tours. We had originally booked our tour with a different company that scammed us and our friends referred us to Anne - Afreek tours - she went above and beyond to make sure the rest of our safari experience was well planned and unforgettable. She planned the itenery and lodges within a short notice of one night and made sure we were comfortable and safe after a nasty experience. I would recommend Afreek Tours in a heartbeat. Our family believes that she was the angel to our rescue when another Ugandan touring company took all our money, scammed us, did not make any hotel bookings and gave us a hard time. Our family is very thankful for her professionalism, kindness and care that she took whilst on our safari from Rwanda to Uganda. She has the best driver guides who were so knowledgeable, friendly, kind and trusted. Thank you Anne for turning our safari experience that was a night mare into a fun, memorable one. Your itinerary was very well planned ensuring we get to experience all of Uganda’s awesomeness including indulging in traditional organic foods, coffee experience, vanilla experience, chimpanzee tracking, boat ride at Mulchison falls, hike up the falls, sundowner at a beautiful lodge and many many more lovely memories. We are thankful to have met you and would recommend Afreek Tours to all our family and friends. Roshni

Best Trip Ever - Can't Wait to Go Back!
Wow, just wow! Our Uganda safari with Afreek Tours was hands down one of the most amazing trips I've ever taken with friends. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family - the guides were so warm and knowledgeable, and the local communities welcomed us with open arms. The highlights? Where do I even start? Seeing lions lounging in trees (who knew they did that?!), tracking gorillas through the misty forests (we got so close I could see the silverback's eyelashes!), and that magical night drive where we watched lions on the prowl - absolutely unreal experiences I'll never forget. What really made it special though was how well taken care of we were. The lodges were stunning, the food delicious, and our guide knew exactly where to take us for the best sightings and experiences. That afternoon cruising the Kazinga Channel with cold drinks, surrounded by hippos and elephants? Pure bliss. If you're thinking about booking with Afreek Tours - just do it! We're already planning our next adventure with them. These guys don't just give you a safari, they give you memories that last a lifetime. Pro tip: Bring good binoculars, break in your hiking boots before the gorilla trek, and get ready to fall in love with Uganda!
Response from the operator: ohh wow! amazed by this response! Thanks, Stephan for your review

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Uganda 5 Days Lion and Gorilla Tracking Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kampala.
How much does Uganda 5 Days Lion and Gorilla Tracking Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $4,864 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 Uganda 5 Days Lion and Gorilla Tracking Safari take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 Uganda 5 Days Lion and Gorilla Tracking Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Kampala, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Uganda 5 Days Lion and Gorilla Tracking Safari?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Uganda 5 Days Lion and Gorilla Tracking Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Uganda 5 Days Lion and Gorilla Tracking Safari?
+
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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Uganda 5 Days Lion and Gorilla Tracking 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.
