7 Days Gorilla Trekking and Wildebeest Migration Safari

After arrival in Entebbe, you will be met and transferred to the Hotel No.5, a luxury boutique hotel tucked away in tropical gardens in a quiet suburb. This grand property provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere with personalised service, making it the perfect place to start your gorilla trekking adventure. Relax by the pool or enjoy a refreshing drink on the veranda with the anticipation of venturing into Uganda’s popular southwestern region the next day.

After a hearty breakfast, a transfer takes you back to Entebbe International Airport for a light aircraft flight to Kihihi Airstrip and a road transfer to Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp. Set uniquely inside the park boundaries just a 5-minute walk from the Buhoma sector trailhead, Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp offers a deeper sense of physical immersion in an unparalleled rainforest setting—and the icing on the cake is the frequent visits of mountain gorilla families on the camp grounds. A two-night stay at this exclusive, luxury property is the perfect prelude to one of life’s most extraordinary experiences: gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

As you venture deep into the ancient, mystical and enchanting jungle, the anticipation builds until you come face-to-face with the gentle giants. Their soulful gaze and powerful presence leave an indelible mark on your heart. Returning to the tranquil forest resort after your life-transforming encounter, you’ll find the perfect haven to reflect, unwind, and cherish the magic of your adventure.

Today, you will return to Kihihi Airstrip and fly to Entebbe International Airport for a flight to Kilimanjaro International Airport where you’ll be transferred to Arusha Coffee Lodge. Nestled within the lush surroundings of a working coffee plantation on the foothills of Mount Meru, Arusha Coffee Lodge offers a unique and peaceful retreat ideal for resting and recharging before the next part of your adventure begins. Here, enjoy guided tours of the plantation and experience Tanzanian coffee culture, or simply relax by the pool or in the lodge’s inviting lounge with breathtaking views of Mount Meru.

After a sumptuous breakfast, you’ll be transferred to Arusha Airport for a flight to Kogatende Airstrip, and on to Olakira Migration Camp, where you’ll spend the next two nights in the heart of the Serengeti. The camp is perfectly positioned to witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of millions of wildebeest and zebras crossing the plains in search of fresh grazing during the migration season. This natural spectacle is a thrilling experience, bringing predators and prey together in dramatic scenes that unfold right in front of you. You will enjoy thrilling game drives led by expert guides, as well as bush walks and birdwatching, all within close proximity to the Great Migration.

After your final breakfast at Olakira Migration Camp, bid farewell to the staff before returning to Kogatende Airstrip for a flight back to Kilimanjaro International Airport and your onward journey home.
