5-Day Gorilla & Wildlife Uganda Safari

A slightly fuller alternative to our 5-Day Bwindi Escape, adding a short wildlife component.

Overview
5 Days / 4 Nights

For travelers who want both gorillas and a wildlife encounter within a tight five-day window, this itinerary adds a scenic Ishasha stop — Queen Elizabeth’s tree-climbing lion territory — onto the standard Bwindi gorilla-trekking escape, without adding an extra overnight stay.

Journey Highlights
  • A full-day private gorilla trek in Bwindi
  • A scenic drive through Ishasha, home to Uganda’s tree-climbing lions
  • A celebratory dinner on the evening of your trek
  • A tight, efficient five-day structure with minimal downtime
