Your Uganda safari adventure begins with an early morning flight from Entebbe International Airport to either Kisoro or Kihihi Airstrip, depending on your preferred destination and flight arrangements. The flight takes approximately 1–1.5 hours, offering breathtaking aerial views of Uganda’s beautiful countryside, rolling hills, lush green landscapes and, on clear days, the magnificent Rwenzori Mountains.

Upon arrival at Kisoro or Kihihi Airstrip, your professional driver-guide will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your lodge near Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. After checking in, you will have time to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Depending on your arrival time, you can spend the afternoon exploring the local community through optional activities, such as visiting the Batwa community to learn about their traditional culture and way of life or enjoying a coffee-making experience in this famous coffee-producing region. Return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Today is the highlight of your trip and a dream come true. After a heavy breakfast, you will drive for about 6 minutes to the park headquarters for briefing, which usually starts with a traditional dance and a general briefing. Afterward, you will be distributed into groups of 8 people per group. Families are allocated at this point; the trekking time depends on where the gorilla family allocated to you is located. The trek usually takes 4 hours or sometimes 8 hours in total. Viewing time with gorillas is strictly one hour. A face mask is a must. Afterward, you’ll return to your lodge and relax.

Enjoy your final morning in the beautiful surroundings of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. After breakfast, check out of your lodge and meet your driver-guide for a transfer to Kihihi Airstrip, approximately 50 minutes’ drive away.

Upon arrival, check in for your scheduled domestic flight back to Entebbe International Airport. Depending on the flight schedule, the aircraft may make stopovers at other airstrips to pick up or drop off passengers before continuing to Entebbe.

Enjoy the scenic aerial views of Uganda’s beautiful landscapes as you make your way back. Upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport, your memorable 3-day fly-in gorilla trekking safari comes to an end.
