4-Days Flyin Gorilla and Wildlife Safari

4-Days Flyin Gorilla and Wildlife Safari with Lion Tracking Experience offers you the best gorilla-trekking adventure and an unforgettable Lion Tracking Experience. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a UNESCO World heritage site and is a home to over 50% of the world’s remaining mountain Gorillas. This makes it the best place for doing Gorilla trekking safaris.

Queen Elizabeth National Park is the most visited national park in Uganda with thousands of hippos that populate the shorelines of Kazinga Channel. The open savannah is dotted with Acacia and Euphorbia trees which provide a habitat for elephants, lions, leopards, Uganda kobs and big herds of buffaloes.

Once this is done, you will trek through thick creepers and undergrowth with your guides to find the Gorillas, which can take you from half an hour to three quarters of the day.

The steeply forested landscape is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. On your trek, you are likely to spot other primates, birds and rare tree species. After finding the gorillas, you will be allowed to spend one hour with them before trekking back to the park headquarters. This is indeed an extraordinary feeling being with these beautiful yet endangered Creatures.
