Detailed 6-Day Uganda Gorilla Fly-In Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Fly to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Nature Walk
Your Gorilla Hurly Burly driver-guide briefs you on the trip and transfers you to the airstrip for your flight to Bwindi, skipping the 9-hour drive from Kampala. After refreshments and lunch at your lodge, you take an evening nature walk through the forest, spotting small details of the ecosystem you’d otherwise miss.
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking and Batwa Community Visit
After breakfast, you attend a briefing at park headquarters before trekking to find the gorillas. Bwindi holds over 700 gorillas, giving most visitors a strong chance of a sighting. Once you find them, you spend one hour observing their behavior.
In the afternoon, you visit the Batwa community, the original inhabitants of the forest before it became a national park. You enjoy traditional performances, taste local food, and learn about their hunting and gathering traditions. Dinner and overnight stay follow.
Day 3: Fly to Entebbe
After breakfast, you transfer to the airstrip for your flight back to Entebbe International Airport, then head to your hotel for overnight stay.
Day 4: Fly to Murchison Falls National Park
After breakfast, you check out and fly to Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest park and home to four of the Big Five: lions, leopards, buffaloes, and elephants.
Day 5: Game Drive and Boat Cruise
After breakfast, you take a morning game drive through the northern sector, spotting buffaloes, elephants, lions, and Uganda kobs among the park’s 75 animal species. In the afternoon, a boat cruise on the Nile brings sightings of hippos, crocodiles, and elephants coming to drink at the riverbank.
Day 6: Fly Back to Entebbe
After breakfast, you check out and fly back to Entebbe, ending your 6-Day Uganda Gorilla Fly-In Safari.
