Combine Gorilla Trekking and Golfing in Uganda

Combine Gorilla Trekking and Golfing in Uganda for an Unforgettable Adventure

Are you ready for an incredible adventure that blends wildlife exploration with relaxation? Trek Africa Expeditions offers the perfect blend of a Gorilla Trekking Tour and Golfing in Uganda, allowing you to experience the majestic mountain gorillas of Bwindi and enjoy a round of golf at some of Uganda’s best golf courses, including Kitante Golf Club and Entebbe Golf Club.

Best Time for Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

The ideal time for gorilla trekking in Bwindi is during Uganda’s drier months, from December to February and June to early September. During these months, the weather is mild with less rainfall, making it easier to trek through the forest and spot the gorillas. However, even in the rainy season, gorillas can still be seen, as they tend to stay close to food sources, making for a more accessible trek. Regardless of the season, gorilla trekking in Uganda is a year-round activity with a high success rate of gorilla sightings—over 90% of visitors get to see the gorillas.

Where Does Gorilla Trekking Take Place in Uganda?

Gorilla trekking in Uganda takes place in two main locations: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Both parks offer exceptional opportunities to see the critically endangered mountain gorillas. You can easily access these parks by flying into Entebbe International Airport and traveling overland to the parks, or you can fly directly to Kisoro Airstrip (for Mgahinga) or Kihihi Airstrip (for Bwindi’s northern sector). Alternatively, fly into Kigali International Airport in Rwanda and drive to the parks via the Cyanika or Katuna border (just 4-5 hours).

Booking Your Gorilla Trekking Tour

To combine your gorilla trekking tour and golfing experience, the first step is to secure your gorilla trekking permit. These permits are available through the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), with prices as follows:

• USD 800 per person for foreign non-residents
• USD 700 per person for East African residents
• UGX 300,000 per person for East African citizens

Contact us to help you secure your permit and organize the best gorilla trekking experience. We recommend booking your permit 3-5 months in advance to guarantee your spot, as there are limited permits available each day. Once your permit is secured, we’ll send you a confirmation and invoice to finalize your booking.

Gorilla Trekking Costs in Uganda

The overall cost of your Gorilla Trekking Tour in Uganda will depend on your travel preferences (luxury, mid-range, or budget) and the duration of your stay. The biggest cost is the gorilla trekking permit, which ranges from USD 700 per person for non-residents. In addition, you’ll need to consider accommodation, transportation, and meals. For example, a 3-day Gorilla Trekking Safari on a budget may cost:

• USD 1600 for a solo traveler
• USD 1190 per person for two people sharing
• USD 1170 per person for three people
• USD 1150 per person for four people
