UGANDA FLY IN - 3 DAYS GORILLA TREKKING

TRIP OVERVIEW

For those yearning to witness Uganda’s renowned mountain gorillas but constrained by time, our succinct three-day fly-in gorilla experience places you directly amidst the action, ensuring no precious moments are lost.

Your journey begins with a flight to Kihihi Airstrip, minimizing travel time. A day of exhilaration awaits in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where you’ll track the elusive mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Upon this remarkable encounter, you’ll conclude your adventure by flying back to Entebbe, encapsulating an unforgettable experience in a compact timeframe.

Day 1: Entebbe - Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Embarking on a flight from Entebbe to Kihihi Airstrip, a mere 45-minute drive separates you from the enchanting Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

The journey to Buhoma is a scenic passage through flourishing tea plantations and meticulously terraced farms, offering picturesque vistas along the way. Arriving in Buhoma, you’ll have the afternoon to engage in a captivating cultural encounter. This will entail an interaction with the local Batwa tribe – a community of pygmy people intricately intertwined with the forest’s heritage.

As the day winds down, you’ll find yourself in close proximity to the park, ensuring you’re poised for a restful night in preparation for the adventures that await.

Day 2: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

The pinnacle of your journey awaits, an experience set to remain etched in your memory: the rare and extraordinary chance to venture into the mountain rainforest and encounter the legendary ‘gorillas in the mist’.

Commencing with an early breakfast, your day’s commencement involves a pre-trek briefing. Subsequently, you’ll be allocated to a group and embark on a foot journey into the forest. The duration of your trek is unpredictable and can vary due to the gorillas’ whereabouts and prevailing weather conditions. Your time within the park could range from a single hour to six or even more.

However, regardless of the hike’s duration, the culmination remains equally magical: an enchanting hour spent observing these magnificent creatures as they engage in relaxation, play, and nourishment within the heart of the jungle.

Upon completing your hike, a return to your lodge beckons, where dinner and well-deserved rest await. For those seeking additional activities, a guided waterfall hike or a village tour can be arranged upon request, allowing you to further immerse yourself in the local surroundings.

Day 3: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park - Entebbe

After breakfast, you’ll return to Kihihi Airstrip for your return flight to Entebbe.

Kilimanjaro Lemosho route TTC were amazing throughout my trek to the Kilimanjaro summit in October 2022. Everything was organised so well but the really exceptional aspect was the team of local support staff and guide. AJ, Paul, Isaya, Joseph, Pascal, Renata and the 30 other fantastic people that carried, cooked, camped and cared for us. Absolutely loved every second, a trip of a lifetime, thank you 🙏

Once in a lifetime experience I climbed Kilimanjaro with the Tanzanian Travel Company (booked through Charity Challenge UK) in October 2022. Everything was superbly coordinated by TTC, who arranged everything from porters, transport, food, tents- pretty much everything we needed to get to the summit! All of the staff from the guides and porters were very friendly and their knowledge was unrivalled. Special mentions to our lead guide, Richard, who's advice was invaluable and the other guides and porters David, Eric and Joseph (there are too many to mention). Would definitely book again with TTC in the future.

Excellent experience I just got back from climbing My Kilimanjaro on a trip organised by Charity Challenge in the UK. All the ground arrangements in Tanzania were done through Tanzania Travel Company and I would highly recommend. Staff were all excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great trip and I’m considering organising a holiday for the family with TTC in the future.

Great company with excellent staff Climbed Kilimanjaro with the Tanzanian Travel Company at the end if July and the whole experience was superb. The guides, porters, cook, doctor & toilet man were unfailingly encouraging, helpful, cheerful and really seemed to enjoy their work. I would thoroughly recommend them.

An adventure you won't forget! The whole experience from start to finish was awesome and I most certainly won't forget it. From the hotel to the staff and porters who made our trek possible, the food was tasty and plentiful, we all felt like part of the team and very well looked after.I definitely recommend doing the Lemosho Route for a greater chance of acclimatisation. The summit night was by far the hardest part but well worth the effort (even I got emotional). I would urge everybody looking to climb Kilimanjaro to definitely train for a good 4-5 months before attempting this challenge, it will only enhance the mammoth achievement.

Fantastic time climbing Kilimanjaro thanks to TTC! I recently completed a climb of Kilimanjaro with a small group of 7, managed on behalf of Charity Challenge by Tanzania Travel Company. We had a fantastic (if gruelling) experience, and I cannot praise TTC highly enough. From the MD Sam and our chief guide Richard, through to every guide and porter who accompanied us (not forgetting Pius, our doctor), everyone combined the highest standards of professionalism with warmth and friendliness, and a genuine concern for both our well-being and our success in getting to the summit. Highly recommended.

Amazing family experience Excellent safari! Incredibly friendly and accommodating! I was having some difficulty finding a well priced thorough safari and was given a number by a family friend who highly recommended this safari company. As Tanzanians it’s rare for us to be able to see a safari but Samuel helped guide us through a plan for a truly unforgettable experience. We hide an amazingly well educated guide and driver Kamau who went out of his way to get us some truly amazing shots. At one point we were literally 2-3 meters away from 3 young male lions, I was in shock at what Kamau could point out. Food provided was excellent Tanzanian cuisine. My little brothers(8 yr)first safari and he had a fantastic time Highly recommend as a Tanzanian.

Excellent experience with TTC! Setting out to climb Mt Kilimanjaro was quite a challenge and the team at TTC made it a safe and enjoyable trip! They did an excellent job guiding us through each day of the climb. I also had the opportunity to go on a safari afterwards with a guide named Livingston and he did an absolutely fantastic job getting us close to the animals and knowing the best spots in the game drives. Highly recommend this incredible travel group!
