3-Day Gorilla Trekking Fly-in Safari in Uganda

3-Day Gorilla Trekking Fly-in Safari in Uganda from Entebbe airport to Kisoro or Kihihi airstrips in western Uganda. offers a convenient and time-efficient way to experience the incredible mountain gorillas. Gorilla trekking safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a jungle safari promising to change your whole experience of an African jungle safari holiday. For our clients who cannot handle 8-10 hours driving by road, a fly-in Bwindi gorilla safari is the best option.

Prepare to take a picturesque aerial flight from Entebbe airport to Kihihi/Kisoro airstrip to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, where you’ll be guided into the jungle habitat of a selected gorilla family and, once found, spend a full hour among the mountain gorilla family understanding how they eat, communicate, and feel. This experience is non-comparable to any other travel experience, so come with a camera or friend and share the experience. Time allowed is one hour, and the distance of 100 meters.

There are over 12 habituated gorilla groups living in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, distributed in the four sectors that’s: Buhoma, Nkuringo, Rushaga, and Ruhija. To track the mountain gorillas, it’s the availability of the gorilla permit that determines the sector for your gorilla trekking safari trip.

Best Time To Visit – Uganda

The best time to visit Uganda is from June to August and December to February, which are the Dry seasons. Wildlife viewing is at its peak then. Primate walks in the forest are a big part of any safari in Uganda. The habitat of rainforests is, by default, very wet, and you can’t avoid rain completely. However, after heavy rain, the skies often open up to bright sunshine.

Is it safe to travel to Uganda?

Uganda is a safe country to visit, especially when your part of an organized game drive with private guides, as you will be with us. These tours are designed to enhance your safety and provide you with a well-guided experience. There are, of course, some places to avoid in big cities like Kampala or Entebbe. But – as with everywhere else in the world – you’ll be fine by taking some precautions. Just some examples to be on the safe side, pun intended, don’t explore the city at night without a driver or guide, keep your valuables close to you, avoid wearing prominent and visible jewelry, and leave some things like passports in the hotel safe.

Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park

Today is the big day… Prepare yourself for an encounter with one of Bwindi’s gentle giants: the rare mountain gorilla. For most people, this is the absolute highlight of their tour in Uganda.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest boasts both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees – the only forest in Africa that can make this claim. It also hosts five other species of primate, 113 species of mammal, over 200 butterflies, and 360 birds. The gorillas you will track belong to one of nine habituated family groups that can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day. Your trek will be an exciting journey along forested slopes, entwined vines, bushes, and bamboo before you eventually reach the gorilla’s habitat. En route, your guide will point out signs of previous gorilla activity, including dung, nests, and chewed bamboo shoots.

The time taken to track the gorillas can take as little as 2 hours to as much as 7 hours before one returns! Once the gorillas have been located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a truly humbling and emotional experience. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Uganda’s very own ‘Gorillas in the Mist’.
