Are you trying to plan a luxury mountain gorilla trekking safari? Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in Uganda is the best option for this amazing tour expedition. The long drive from Entebbe or Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park takes about 8–9 hours. Another option is to fly from Entebbe to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. There are two destinations where you can connect to Bwindi, namely Kihihi Airstrip, which is situated in the north part of Bwindi, and Kisoro in the south sector of Bwindi.

 

Mountain gorilla trekking in Uganda is carried out in two different national parks: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.

 

If you are tracking gorillas in the north sector of Bwindi, commonly known as the Buhoma region of Bwindi, then the flight Entebbe to Kihihi airstrip is recommended. From here, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and the luxury lodges are approximately 1.5 hours’ drive away. From Kihihi, travelers can easily connect to Queen Elizabeth National Park for tree-climbing lions, game drives, chimpanzee trekking, and boat safaris on the Kazinga channel.

 

Just in case you are trekking mountain gorillas in the southern region of Rushaga and the Nkuringo region of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, the most recommended flight is from Entebbe to Kisoro Airstrip. Then, from Kisoro, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and lodges are located 1.5 hours away.
