4 Days Uganda Fly-in Safari with Double Gorilla Trekking

Enjoy an extraordinary 4-day fly-in safari featuring two unforgettable mountain gorilla trekking experiences in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This adventure takes you to two different sectors of Bwindi, offering the opportunity to encounter two different habituated gorilla families in their natural habitat. Along the forest trails, you may also come across other fascinating primates, including red-tailed monkeys, blue monkeys, L’Hoest’s monkeys and various other forest species.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to more than half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population, with over 600 individuals recorded in the park. It is divided into four gorilla trekking sectors: Nkuringo, Rushaga, Buhoma and Ruhija. For this particular safari, you will explore the Nkuringo and Rushaga sectors, giving you two distinct gorilla trekking experiences in different locations of the forest.

Your safari begins in Entebbe with a scheduled morning domestic flight to Kisoro Airstrip, followed by a transfer to your lodge in Bwindi. After completing your two gorilla trekking experiences, you will enjoy a comfortable return flight from Kihihi Airstrip to Entebbe International Airport, saving valuable travel time and making this an ideal safari for travellers seeking an exclusive and memorable gorilla trekking adventure in Uganda.

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.

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.

What can I expect from a safari with Africa Tours Adventure?

This is an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. This trip is made just for you, exactly as you want it! Our experienced travel consultants, along with our knowledgeable guides, will make sure that your wishes come true. There are numerous advantages to such a trip. First, you can cruise around in a private safari vehicle and have a personal guide. It’s completely up to you what time you leave in the morning and when you come back (taking into account your guide’s advice, of course). Secondly, once you’re in a national park, you can observe specific animals or herds for as long as you like. No one will push you to move along. And lastly, knowing your wishes, your personal guide will give you the right tips, turning your trip into an unforgettable experience in Africa.

What are the chances of seeing gorillas in Uganda?

Yes, yes, yes! Not only the Big Five pose for your pictures, but also Rhinos, hyenas, hippos, zebras, Giraffes, or the unique Ugandan kob. And then there’s the birdlife-with more than 1,000 species of all kinds and colors, Uganda is a birdwatcher’s paradise. And if you love primates, Uganda clearly is your place to be: the diverse jungles are home to as many as 24 species of monkeys, from the nocturnal to the beautifully colored blue monkeys and the breathtaking mountain gorillas and Chimpanzee in their Natural Habitat.
