Uganda is accessible and affordable, but not up to the high tourism standards of most destinations such as Kenya or Tanzania or South Africa. You will be able to experience places and things which you might not be able to find and see alone especially if you are in Uganda on a short holiday. There will be a lot of time wasted by looking for where to go, by waiting and missing the bus, by looking for accommodation and so on. With a guide and a tour company you are safe and time-economical and can be sure that you get in your short time all you expect.
