Just £3,500 per person!
What makes this trip extraordinary?
Short fly—in safari for those with limited time, cutting down travel time.
Two days tracking gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
Explore the exciting Batwa Trail.
DAY 1 ENTEBBE—BWINDI
You will catch a short flight to Bwindi at Entebbe International Airport. Upon arrival, you will be met by your expert guide, and then take a bus to the lovely Bwindi Lodge (approx. 45 mins). It is a chance to relax and admire the views over the forest.
Overnight: Bwindi Lodge
DAY 2 BWINDI IMPENETRABLE FOREST
Today’s activities may be among the most exciting and challenging of any safari! The gorillas we will track belong to one of only a few family groups. For up to five years, these groups have undergone an extremely delicate process that has gradually brought them to tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day. The gorillas are by no means tame, and are completely wild animals. However, experienced guides will accompany you on your tracking. The guides will use their knowledge to locate the group’s whereabouts.
Overnight: Bwindi Lodge
DAY 3 BWINDI IMPENETRABLE FOREST
Today you can spend a second day tracking gorillas. Ideally, try and spend as little time today behind the lens of your camera as possible, so you can fully appreciate this precious experience. If you would prefer, you could enjoy forest walks around Bwindi, go birding, or explore the exciting Batwa Trail.
Overnight: Bwindi Lodge
DAY 4 BWINDI—DEPART
Today you will fly back from Bwindi to Entebbe for your onward international flight home.

And you are happy with the choice when it comes to accommodation. Will you stay in a tree house or a hotel on the beach? The options are endless.
Now it is easier to get to Costa Rica. In 2016, British Airways launched a direct flight from London Gatwick to San Jose, so you can now reach the nation in less than 11 hours.

Many hotels and tour operators put together good packages to visit local highlights, or if you prefer, you can even rent a car.
