5 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking Flying Adventure

Luxury Uganda Safari that saves you on time spent travelling from Entebbe to Kisoro – Bwindi Impenetrable forest National park. A road drive across from Entebbe to Bwindi would take you about 8-10 hours but the fly-in would tremendously cut these hours down to about 1-2 hours with the magnificent aerial views of beautiful landscape of mountains, hills with cultivated terraces, tropical rainforest and bamboo forest.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one of the most biologically diverse areas on Earth, where half the world’s population of the highly endangered mountain gorillas live in its jungles. The forest is a large primeval forest located in southwestern Uganda in the Kanungu District. It is on the edge of the Albertine Rift, the western branch of the East African Rift, at altitudes ranging from 1,160 metres (3,810 ft) to 2,607 metres (8,553 ft).

Price: from $3000 per person
