Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Charter flights for gorilla trekking?

Direct answer

Charter flights shorten gorilla access significantly — AeroLink Uganda flies Entebbe–Kihihi or Kisoro (3–0 one-way) for Bwindi, cutting the 8–10 hour road to under 90 minutes. Kenya's SafariLink connects Nairobi to Kisumu for western Kenya routes. Private Cessna charters from Entebbe or Kigali start around ,500–,500 per leg; book through your safari operator alongside gorilla permits 6–12 months ahead.

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.
