Good one-day tours fill up around the permit calendar and the two dry seasons, so the 11 below are worth getting in early on. Each one carries a current price and an honest description of what is and is not included.
Private 1-day hike to Sipi Falls from Kapchorwa, with flexible add-ons like coffee, abseiling, caves, and sunset views, plus a guide.
“William was an incredible guide - clearly knows the routes like the back of his hand! Was an amazing experience to see so many angles of the sipi - would highly recommend!!”
One-day Kigali to Mghahinga gorilla trek with private 4x4 transfer, ranger, breakfast, lunch, and up to 1 hour with mountain gorillas.
“We booked the tour for the two of us and had to get into contact with the tour operator in regards to the permits for Uganda. This was all sorted in no time. The trip itself was amazing! We were picked up very early in the morning by Robert and taken to the border of Uganda. Robert supported us with immigration and then handed us over to Vincent who took us to the spot from where the gorilla trekking started. Apart from seeing the gorillas, the whole tour was organised perfectly and everybody worked together as a team. Thank you so much to Cosmos and his team, Erik and Bruce…”
1-day Kibale chimp tracking from Fort Portal, permits and water included, max 15 people, plus chances to spot 13 primate species.
“The tour operator was not straight forward with charges. Sent a message that the permit cost had gone up and wanted additional funds. I was prepared to pay this. When I reached there he had a higher quote than previously mentioned that had to be payed before we could start the trip”
Kampala equator day trip with water-rotation demo, photos on the green line, lunch included, and a certificate option, priced at $136.
“Visiting the Uganda equator was a blast! Thanks to Dark Hills Uganda for organizing this and to our awesome driver Dan for making it even better!”
One day gorilla trekking in Bwindi from Kigali: early pickup, park briefing, hours of jungle tracking, and lunch on the return.
“Maravillosa actividad. Primero te contactaran por aparte para tramitar tu permiso de trecking que no va incluido y que parece costoso hasta que vas y te das cuenta del inmenso trabajo y logística que representa esta actividad (confía en la agencia) esto me costó por que soy mexicana. Lleva ropa adecuada, pantalones largos, algo abrigador e impermeable y botas de montaña, agua, comida y dinero para propinas. Estando ahí te darás cuenta de que el trabajo de esta gente hay que valorarlo. La agencia fue increíblemente amable y eficiente. Gracias por una experiencia única en la vida.”

1-day Entebbe walking tour with Nambi fish market, Rolex street food, botanical gardens, chimp conservation, coffee tasting, and souvenirs.
“The Entebbe town walk was a success. Amos is a happy and adventurous guy. I liked the botanical garden the most. Moreover, I learned a lot about facts from the city's history and more. Unfortunately we were not at the Chipanzee Trust which was on the programme. That's why I give it 4/5 stars.”
