6 days Uganda: Wildlife safari & Gorilla trekking​

6 days Uganda: Wildlife safari & Gorilla trekking​

A bit of safari with a dash of gorillas. This short, sweet and relaxing 6-day journey introduces you to the best of what Uganda has to offer.

This tour is packed with stunning road trips, amazing wildlife, a calming cruise on the massive but peaceful Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and the encounter of a lifetime in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park – the cherry on the cake. Having said that, meeting mountain gorillas is not for the faint-hearted. It takes a two to six-hour hike into the emerald jungle of Bwindi, following the footsteps of your machete-sweeping guide. But once there, these intimidating but gentle giants will surely sweep you off your feet. Figuratively of course!

The drive from Entebbe or Kampala to Queen Elizabeth National Park takes approximately seven hours.

You pass by sprawling tea plantations and picturesque lakes (including the famous Lake Mburo) and might see zebras, antelopes, and even the occasional elephant along the way.

Enjoy the beauty of Uganda on a 5 to 6-hour drive from Queen Elizabeth National Park to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Observe the landscape gradually transforming from open savannah plains to thick and lush green forests. A memorable drive!

The Buhoma sector, located in the northern part of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, is the largest sector and has been the pioneer of gorilla trekking in Uganda since 1993. Trekking here is moderately challenging and offers some of Africa’s most spectacular forest trails, perfect for avid hikers. Please note that participants must be at least 15 years old, treks last 2–4 hours, require proper hiking shoes and are conducted in groups of up to 8 people, though gorilla sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Activities:

  • Mountain gorilla trekking in Rushaga (southern sector)
  • Mountain gorilla trekking in Nkuringo (South Sector)

After some exhilarating days, the end of your adventure is near. Enjoy the ride back to where it all started, take in the stunning views once more, and take off with new memories that last forever. Or simply stay a little longer.
