Express Gateway to Uganda’s Mountain Gorillas via Private Flight

About this experience

Fly straight to the mist. Swap 9 hours of rough roads for 90 minutes of pure magic.

Why spend a precious day of your safari navigating dusty, corrugated roads when you could be soaring over emerald tea plantations, volcanic crater lakes, and the dramatic ridges of the Great Rift Valley?

This private Cessna 172 charter turns an exhausting drive into an unforgettable aerial showcase, delivering you safely to Kihihi Airstrip in under an hour and a half. Step off the plane right into your awaiting lodge transfer, arriving at Bwindi Forest refreshed, energized, and ready for the gorilla trek of a lifetime.
