5 Days Fly-in Safari to Bwindi & Murchison Falls

5 Days Uganda Fly-in Safari in Bwindi Impenetrable and Murchison Falls is a rewarding Gorilla trekking & wildlife tour in the best park. Uganda’s most visited national park. Bwindi Forest is a perfect Uganda Gorilla Safari destination and Murchison Falls is the world’s most powerful waterfalls. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Murchison Falls National Park are far apart from each other and therefore transfers are done by chartered flights. The flight transfers start from and end at Entebbe International Airport. They may be quite costly but worth it.

The 6 Days Uganda Fly-in Safari tour comprises activities like mountain gorilla trekking at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and a game drive, boat cruise, and hike to the top of the falls at Murchison Falls National Park. Mountain Gorilla trekking is one of the popular Uganda safari activities and the Bwindi forest offers such a remarkable experience. It’s such a wonderful moment spending several hours walking/hiking through a tropical jungle in search of mountain gorillas and spending 1 hour in their presence.

Murchison Falls National Park is the most visited park in the country since it offers spectacular views. Here you have a game drive and spot several wildlife, take a boat cruise to the bottom of the Murchison Falls and hike to the top. Between the airstrips and the national parks as well as accommodation facilities, a tour guide will ensure your transfers with a 4×4 safari land cruiser.
