This 4-day flying safari is the ultimate way to experience mountain gorilla trekking in Uganda without the long overland drive. Beginning in Entebbe on the shores of Lake Victoria, you will fly directly to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, home to nearly half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas. Here you will track a gorilla family through ancient rainforest, meet the Batwa people at their cultural village, and unwind at your lodge surrounded by forested hills. Staying at Admas Grand Hotel in Entebbe and Engagi Lodge in Bwindi, this itinerary combines comfort, convenience, and one of Africa's most extraordinary wildlife encounters.
