4 Days Uganda Gorilla Fly-In Safari

On your arrival at Entebbe Airport, you will be met and welcomed by our representative. He will be your tour and driver guide for the rest of the days you will be in the country. After the interaction and brief introduction, you will be transferred to your hotel in Entebbe for overnight stay on bed and breakfast basis. Approximate drive time is 10 to 30 minutes.

Morning pick up from your hotel in Entebbe and transfer to the airport for your flight to Kihihi Airstrip. Upon arrival at the airstrip, you will be welcomed by your lodge guide who will drive you straight to your lodge for the rest of the day. In the afternoon, participate in the community walk around the park. Return to your lodge in the evening for dinner and overnight stay.

The day is finally here for your unforgettable lifetime experience of meeting face to face with the giant mountain gorillas. You will start your day with an early breakfast at your lodge and then transfer to the park headquarters, depending on which location you have booked your accommodation, for briefing. There are four sectors in which gorilla trekking takes place within Bwindi Forest. The northern side of the park is comprised of Buhoma and Ruhija sectors, while the southern side is comprised of Rushaga and Nkuringo sectors. After briefing, you will start your day’s trek. Searching for the gorillas may take about 2 to 5 hours depending on where they were last spotted the previous day. Once they have been spotted, you will be given one hour to take videos, photos and ask the rangers and guides any questions about these giant apes. Besides the great apes, the forest is also home to other wildlife and bird species such as butterflies, primates, mammals and frogs which may be seen along the way. After seeing the gorillas, you will head back to your lodge and retire for the rest of the day. The whole activity can take between 5 to 9 hours. Packed lunch and hiring porters are highly recommended.

After your morning breakfast, depending on the time of your domestic flight, you will be driven back to the airstrip by the lodge guide to catch your flight out of Bwindi back to Entebbe. Upon arrival at the airport, connect with your onward flight to your next destination.
