Check in, enjoy lunch depending on your arrival time and meal plan, and spend the afternoon relaxing at the lodge. You may enjoy the surrounding scenery, take photographs, or learn about the conservation of mountain gorillas from your guide.

Your guide will brief you about the following day’s gorilla trekking activity, including what to pack, how to dress, and the importance of following park rules.

The duration and difficulty of the trek vary according to the gorillas’ location, terrain, weather, and trail conditions. Your journey may take several hours through dense vegetation, steep slopes, and beautiful rainforest surroundings.

When you locate the gorilla family, you will generally be allowed to spend up to one hour observing these remarkable primates, subject to current Uganda Wildlife Authority regulations. Watch as they feed, groom one another, play, and interact within their family groups.

After the trek, return to your lodge for lunch and relaxation. Depending on your energy and available time, you may arrange a community visit or a guided nature walk as an optional activity.

This day makes the 3-Day Bwindi Fly-In Gorilla Tour an exceptional choice for travelers seeking a meaningful wildlife encounter without committing to a longer road safari.

Best Time to Book a 3-Day Bwindi Fly-In Gorilla Tour

Gorilla trekking in Bwindi is available throughout the year, subject to permit availability and park operating conditions. Many travelers prefer the relatively drier periods, commonly around June to August and December to February, although weather can vary.

The wetter months can bring muddy trails and challenging trekking conditions, but the forest remains beautiful and gorilla trekking continues when conditions permit.

We recommend booking your 3-Day Bwindi Fly-In Gorilla Tour well in advance, particularly for peak travel periods, because gorilla permits and suitable flights can be limited.

• Sturdy hiking boots with good grip.
• Long trousers and long-sleeved shirts.
• A lightweight waterproof jacket.
• Gardening or trekking gloves for vegetation.
• A small daypack.
• Drinking water and personal snacks.
• Insect repellent.
• Sunscreen and a hat.
• Binoculars and a camera without flash.
