Are gorilla and chimpanzee permits included?

Permits are only included when your quote lists them. Like flights and lodges, they are subject to availability and are confirmed before payment.

How fit do I need to be?

Gorilla trekking can involve steep, muddy and uneven forest trails, so a reasonable level of fitness is recommended. Bring sturdy walking shoes, long trousers, drinking water and a light rain jacket.

Are sightings guaranteed?

No. Gorillas, chimpanzees and the tree-climbing lions of Ishasha are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Why fly rather than drive?

Scheduled domestic flights between Entebbe and the parks save long road journeys and give you more time on safari.

How does the price change with group size?

The price per person falls as your group grows: £3,518 for one traveller, £2,805 each for two, £2,642 each for three and £2,561 each for four.

About this expedition

Make the most of a short stay, with scheduled flights that cut out the long drives. You fly from Entebbe to Kihihi for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and spend a full day trekking to find a mountain gorilla family. From there you head into Queen Elizabeth National Park, starting in the Ishasha sector, known for its tree-climbing lions, then moving on to the Mweya area. You track chimpanzees in Kyambura Gorge, cruise the Kazinga Channel among hippos and birds, and finish with a last game drive before flying back to Entebbe from Mweya Airstrip. Lodges range from budget to luxury.
