4 Days Fly-In Gorilla Safari

The real promised Fly-in Gorilla Trekking Uganda Safari adventure starts today with a morning with a transfer to Entebbe International Airport for your flight to Western Uganda. Flight departs at 0745 hours and an Aerolink staff member will help you check in for your domestic flight to Kisoro Airstrip.

From Kisoro Airstrip (expected arrival 0.9.30 hours), you will be welcomed by your guide who will transfer you the home of the endangered mountain gorillas. Check in at the lodge and enjoy a delicious lunch.

Our Guide will leave you the rest of the afternoon to rest while you get an opportunity to relax and prepare for your gorilla trekking activity the next day. Or go for an optional forest walk in the park for a first introduction with Uganda’s unique flora and fauna while you meditate and prepare mentally for that trek up the jungle.

The guided forest walks reveal clouds of brightly colored butterflies and shy birds’. You could also take on a tour to a Batwa cultural community experience reveals fascinating stories about the life of these jungle-dwellers.

Gorilla tracking activity, certainly one of the most exciting days of 4 Days Fly-in Gorilla Trekking Uganda Safari. Today you will be gorilla tracking. Breakfast will be served early and lunch will be packed. The briefing is at 8 am.

Your guide will give you highlights of specific details about the way of life of the gorillas you will be tracking. The hike can take anything from one to seven hours. Once you reach the gorillas, you are allowed to spend one hour with them as you stand 7 meters away.

However the thrill of coming face to face with a giant Mountain Gorilla completely makes up for the effort! Upon sighting the gorillas, you spend the allowed one hour with them as they go about their daily life; feeding, moving, playing, raising their young and sometimes wrestling by the juveniles. It is totally unique and unforgettable experience. Upon completion of this magical encounter we will drive you back to the lodge where you can relax in the afternoon or go for another walk to visit one of the communities around.
