4 Days Uganda Gorilla Fly-in Safari


The first day of this incredible journey will take you over elephant and giraffe herds on your flight to Bwindi, Uganda, which is the Pearl of Africa, where you will get the chance to participate in a truly extraordinary event. 

Your trip will start in the wonderful town of Entebbe, a quaint lakeside city with a reputation for its tranquil atmosphere and the surrounding beautiful nature. Following a panoramic flight, you will land at Kihihi or Kisoro Airstrip from where trekking into the rainforest will be the next event of this amazing journey. These two airstrips serve as the entrances to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which is one of the most phenomenal parks in Africa.

The mountain gorilla trek is the most thrilling part of your whole tour as you will be able to get up close and personal with the gentle giants surrounded by the mesmerizing natural conditions of the forest. Under the watchful eyes of the canyoning guides, walk through vast forests that are alive with birds, butterflies, and nature's beautiful sights.

You can take the chance to follow the Batwa Cultural Trail, interact with local people, or just recharge in your lodge with the views of Uganda's green hills. A flight back to Entebbe will mark the end of your trip, where optional visits such as the Mabamba Shoebill Tour or the Botanical Gardens can help you wrap up your experience.

For the adventurers who want more, a border-crossing trip to Rwanda's Kigali or Musanze (Ruhengeri) provides the chance to witness Volcanoes National Park, featuring gorillas.

This quick safari is particularly tailored to those wishing to have a comfortable yet deep experience of primates and culture in East Africa.
