4Days Uganda Gorilla Safari Fly-in

You will experience a life-changing adventure on a 4-day fly-in Ugandan gorilla safari, which will pamper you during the whole trip, show off the most breathtaking landscapes, and let you meet the wildest animals. Start in Entebbe, where you will enjoy the view of Lake Victoria before the scenic domestic flight to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest—the cradle of almost 50% of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas.

The expert rangers will take you to the jungle of Bwindi where the mist is heavy, and you will have an up-close and personal gorilla viewing experience that many people wish but only few get to experience once in a lifetime. You will be a spectator of the gentle giants with the rest of the forest sounding in the background and eve the vegetation.

You may also enjoy your trip with extra activities such as the Batwa Cultural Trail, where you will get to know the traditional ways of living of Uganda's first forest people, or the Mabamba Shoebill Tour in Entebbe where you can see the rare species of birds living in the wetlands.

This safari is short but it is a full experience and it offers the best combination of adventure, luxury, and wildlife—it is perfect for the visitors looking for an upscale and time-saving Ugandan experience.
