Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

A short, intensive journey to Bwindi National Park

This journey takes you to one of the most pristine regions of East Africa – the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. After a night to acclimatize in Entebbe, you will travel by domestic flight directly into the wild southwest of Uganda. Two gorilla treks will allow you to encounter the last mountain gorillas in the world. The misty forest, the quiet rustling in the undergrowth, and the moment a silverback appears – all of this remains. This compact tour is ideal for anyone with limited time but seeking an intense nature experience. Optionally, it can be extended with additional safari components.

01 Entebbe

Arriving at Lake Victoria

After landing in Entebbe, your journey begins with a relaxing day in the small harbor town by Lake Victoria. Depending on your arrival time, there may be time for a walk by the water or a sundowner in the garden of your accommodation. The green surroundings, tropical air, and the first bird calls prepare you for the upcoming experiences. The next morning, you will fly directly to the south of Uganda – to one of the most biodiverse regions of the country.

02 Bwindi National Park

In the realm of mountain gorillas

Deep in the southwest of Uganda lies the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest – a mysterious rainforest that is home to the endangered mountain gorillas. Two trekking tours will lead you to these fascinating creatures and allow you to feel the magic of the moment. In between, there is time to pause: listen to the jungle, observe colorful birds, or encounter other forest dwellers like colobus monkeys or chameleons.

Depending on your departure time, there may still be time for a short break by the lake or a quick visit to a local market. Then it’s time to say goodbye to Uganda – with unforgettable memories of warm-hearted people, dense misty forests, and the silent presence of the gorillas.
