The allure of flying safaris is swiftly capturing the hearts of many travelers in Uganda, providing a seamless alternative to lengthy road trips. Trek Africa Expeditions takes the lead in organizing flying safaris to Buhoma Gorilla sector of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, catering to tourists seeking the convenience of air travel throughout their stay in Uganda.
While road trips offer a delightful adventure with close-range views, some travelers prefer to bypass extended hours in transit. Flying safaris present a unique advantage, allowing visitors to explore numerous destinations in a short span and reach otherwise inaccessible locations in the country.
Traditionally, Gorilla safaris to Buhoma sector were road-bound, dissuading many travelers due to the extensive 9-10 hours drive from Kampala or Entebbe. Opting for flying safaris has revolutionized the accessibility of the less congested part of the National Park. Aerolink Uganda, a local flight operator based in Entebbe International Airport, ensures a swift and comfortable journey, with flights taking approximately one and a half hours. Upon landing at Kihihi Airfield, our professional driver guides await to transfer you to your reserved lodge. This efficient mode of travel allows you to engage in park activities before enjoying a tranquil evening and overnight stay.
It’s advisable to book flights in advance, considering there are two flights to Kihihi Airfield. Trek Africa Expeditions recommends securing your flight reservations to ensure a seamless flying safari experience. Occasionally, flights may involve connections via Kasese and Kisoro Airfields to accommodate additional client pickups or drop-offs.
Buhoma sector, nestled in the Northern part of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, welcomes visitors year-round. However, the prime time aligns with the dry months from December to March and June to October. Tracking during drier months facilitates easier navigation, although Mountain Gorillas tend to roam further in search of food. Notably, Gorilla tracking is viable during the wet season, with slightly reduced chances of wild Gorilla sightings compared to the drier months.
Booking flying safaris to Buhoma Gorilla sector is open year-round, and early reservations are encouraged, including securing Gorilla permits. Trek Africa Expeditions ensures prompt booking of services upon inquiry, recommending planning at least two months in advance. Nevertheless, last-minute bookings can be accommodated if services are available.
