Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Can I combine safari and gorilla trekking?

Direct answer

Gorilla trekking is the core of most Uganda safaris, not a separate product—typical 8–10 day plans stack Bwindi (0 UWA permit) with Queen Elizabeth game drives, Kibale chimps (0), and Murchison Falls boat cruises. Fly Entebbe–Kihihi to preserve days for both savanna wildlife and mountain gorillas; book permits 6–12 months ahead for June–September peak trekking.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
