4 Days Flying Gorilla Safari Overview
4 Days Flying Gorilla Safari leads you to Bwindi’s impenetrable national park. We have made this easy so that you don’t need to drive 10 hours but rather fly; in just a (+/- 1h30), you will be in Bwindi just in time to start your trekking experience, thus making our 4-day gorilla trekking experience more convenient. Our scheduled flights to Bwindi are twice a day, and you can choose either the morning or afternoon flight to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Or you can opt for one route to Bwindi, and then later, after 4 days of flying gorilla safari, we can drop you off in Rwanda for your international flight back. We call it hitting two birds with one stone.
4 Days Flying Gorilla Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Fly to Bwindi impenetrable National park
Take a morning scheduled flight to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park after having breakfast.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to some mountain gorilla species. It’s a habitat for about half of the world’s population of gorillas. For about an hour, you will be on a flight, enjoying the aerial view of the beautiful landscapes of Uganda.
You will be landing at either Kihihi or Kisoro airport, depending on the tour plan, and your driver will be waiting to transfer you to the lodge through the beautiful impenetrable forest of Bwindi.

Our gorilla trekking experience begins at 8:15 a.m. after breakfast at the lodge.
Gorilla trekking activities take more than 2–8 hours. You will need a packed lunch and a walking stick as your third leg to support you while trekking. These can be given for free at the lodge or hired at the Uganda Wildlife Authority information centre for $5.
Before embarking on this amazing experience, you will be briefed on the dos and don’ts when you encounter mountain gorillas in the jungle. You are also advised to carry along with you rain jackets in case it rains, drinking water, snacks, jungle boots, and long trousers. The afternoon is optional for you to relax at the lodge or visit the Batwa (pygmy) and walk around the communities surrounding the park, which gives you a chance to interact with the local people.
