About this journey
A 5 days/4 nights fly-in safari to the heart of the Pearl of Africa, combining two unforgettable gorilla treks in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with chimpanzee trekking in Kalinzu Forest and a moving cultural encounter with the Batwa, the forest's original inhabitants. With scheduled Aerolink flights and a luxurious lodge set inside the national park itself, this is Uganda at its most intimate and rewarding.
A Four nights Safari designed for travellers who want Uganda's greatest primate encounters without long days on the road. A short scenic flight carries you from Entebbe over the western highlands and into the misty embrace of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to nearly half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas.
At the centre of this journey are two gorilla treks, each with a different habituated family, doubling your time with these extraordinary animals and revealing new personalities with every encounter. An afternoon of chimpanzee trekking in Kalinzu Forest adds a lively counterpoint, while time with the Batwa community brings the forest's human story to life through storytelling, song and centuries of tradition.
With a boutique night at Hotel No.5 in Entebbe and three nights at Gorilla Sanctuary Lodge, set within the national park just moments from the trailhead, this is Uganda at its most intimate and rewarding.
