5 Days Fly-in Luxury Gorilla And Wildlife Safari
The 5 Days Fly-in Luxury Gorilla And Wildlife Safari compresses Uganda's two most iconic sightings into a seamless circuit: gorillas in the morning and tree-climbing lions by afternoon. A domestic flight from Entebbe to Kihihi Airstrip deposits you on the edge of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where half the world's remaining mountain gorillas live. After the trek and a Batwa cultural visit, a scenic drive delivers you to the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, the only place in Uganda where lions routinely climb into the branches of ancient fig trees.
The journey between parks passes through charming rural landscapes and a community project stop at Agartha's Taste, grounding the wildlife drama in the everyday life of the people who share this land. Full days of game drives in Ishasha, golden-hour sundowners by the Ntungwe River, and a bush breakfast on your final morning make for an ending as good as the opening.
For more time with the gorillas, the 5 Days Double Gorilla Luxury Safari adds a habituation day. The 11 Days Flying Uganda Luxury Safari Holiday extends this circuit to include Murchison Falls, Kibale, and a sunset cruise on Lake Victoria.
