A scheduled flight from Entebbe to Kihihi airstrip replaces the long road trip to south-west Uganda, followed by a road transfer to the Buhoma sector of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Three nights at a lodge near the park gate allow one gorilla trek, which can last from a couple of hours to most of the day, plus a spare day for forest walks, waterfalls or a community visit. The return is an early flight back to Entebbe.

The route, stop by stop

1. Bwindi, Uganda · 3 nights

Arrive by fly — Flight from Entebbe to Kihihi airstrip, then a road transfer to the lodge

Three nights at the park edge leave a buffer day around the trek, which helps when weather or fitness lengthens the trek.
