6 Days Fly-in Uganda Gorilla & Wildlife Safari

6 days, two parks, and Uganda's two most sought-after primate encounters in a single focused trip. The itinerary opens in Queen Elizabeth National Park for chimpanzee trekking through the Kyambura Gorge, an ancient river canyon where habituated chimp groups move through riverine forest below the open savannah. From there a short transfer south brings you to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for mountain gorilla trekking, spending a full hour with a habituated gorilla family in the forest interior.

Queen Elizabeth has more to offer than the chimp trek. Afternoon game drives across the Kasenyi Plains turn up elephants, buffaloes, and kob in large numbers, and a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel puts you on the water at the point where Lake Edward and Lake George meet, with hippos surfacing beside the boat throughout. After gorilla trekking at Bwindi, the journey home uses a domestic flight from Kihihi Airstrip rather than a long road return, which keeps the final day easy.

Want to add Kibale National Park and a dedicated chimp forest to the same fly-in structure? The 8 Days Fly-In Uganda Luxury Safari does exactly that. For a road-based option covering similar ground, the 7 Days Primates & Wildlife Safari is worth comparing.
