Uganda Gorilla trek Fly–in Safaris, is one of the luxury Uganda safaris that takes you into either Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga National Park, where you have an incredible one on one encounter with mountain gorillas.
Both parks are located in the south western part of Uganda, which is roughly 10 hours’ drive by road and 1.3 hrs by flight.
Uganda Gorilla trekking safaris, are one of the leading Uganda safaris, where by visitors having a shorter stay, or would wish to avoid the long strenuous drive on the bumpy roads, opt to fly instead of driving to the parks.
There are morning, noon and afternoon flights operated from/ to Entebbe and Kisoro/ Kihihi. The flight from Entebbe to Kisoro takes only 1 hour and 10 minutes while the flight between Kihihi and Entebbe takes 1 hour and 45 minutes.
During the low season, a minimum booking number of 2 people is required on either route.
The flight does not only give you quick access to the park, but you will as well enjoy an endless aerial view of Uganda from space.
Airfields & flights
The flights are operated by Aerolink and Bar aviation, who land at Kihihi airfield or Kisoro airfield.
The choice of the two airfields, will depend on the trekking location, where your gorilla permit and accommodation is located.
Kihihi airfield. Those trekking in Ruhija and Buhoma, will often opt to use this airfield as their major landing point
Kisoro airfield. Those trekking in Rushaga, Nkuringo and Mgahinga National Park, will use this airfield as their major landing point.
You can combine your Uganda gorilla fly-in safari to either Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga National Park, with undertaking wildlife safari to Queen Elizabeth National Park as well as with chimpanzee trekking at Kibale National Park. You can as well decide to exit Uganda via Rwanda, and undertake gorilla trekking in Rwanda, as an addition to your Uganda gorilla trekking safari.
In case you have enough time to relax in Entebbe, you can as well undertake an afternoon boat cruise on Lake Victoria or an afternoon shoebill bird watching at Mabamba swamp, before or after your Uganda gorilla trek fly-in safari.
