Gorilla Luxury Fly-in Safari in Uganda
A 3 night fly-in safari from Entebbe to Bwindi is perfect for those short on time and keen to experience one of the greatest wildlife encounters on earth, trekking Mountain Gorillas.
Overview
This 3-night Gorilla Fly-In Safari is ideal for travellers short on time who want to experience one of the world’s most thrilling wildlife encounters — trekking to see Uganda’s mountain gorillas. From Entebbe you’ll fly directly into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to half of the world’s remaining gorillas.
You’ll stay at a carefully chosen lodge just inside the park gates for 2 nights, with sweeping views across the rainforest and the chance of gorillas or other primates wandering right through the garden. Trekking here is an unforgettable experience, with more than a 90% success rate of sightings. Once located, you’ll have a precious hour in the company of a gorilla family.
It’s perfect for those short on time, but we also have short 4 or 7 night options which allow you to see more of the country, and still combine with Kenya or Tanzania if you wish.
You can even add on a third night to fully enjoy the region or opt for a second gorilla trek.

Mountain Gorilla Trekking
Gorilla tracking timings and conditions vary tremendously as the gorillas move continuously through the rain forest. It is good to be prepared and remember the weather can change with very little warning. The terrain is often steep and through areas where there are no marked paths. It can be strenuous: maybe just a couple of hours but it can also be for a full day of up to 8 hours of hiking in hot, high altitude conditions – please be prepared for this by being as fit as possible!
Good to know
