Gorilla Escape

A weekend with silverbacks in Bwindi's misty canopy.

Overview

The shortest way into Uganda's signature experience. A tight, well-paced long weekend built around a single gorilla trekking permit, with just enough time either side to arrive properly and leave unhurried.

The route

Day by day

01

Arrive & transfer to Bwindi

Land at Entebbe and connect on to the Bwindi region, either by light aircraft or a scenic road transfer through the Kigezi highlands. Evening briefing at your lodge, with the forest visible from the terrace.

02

Gorilla trekking day

An early breakfast, a ranger briefing, and then into the forest to track a habituated gorilla family — anywhere from one to several hours of hiking, followed by an hour in their company.

03

Lake Bunyonyi & departure

A short transfer to Lake Bunyonyi for a slow final morning — a dugout canoe on still water, lunch on a terraced hillside — before connecting back to Entebbe.
