Things to consider when booking scheduled flights to Bwindi Forest National Park.

 Booking your gorilla trekking and gorilla habituation experience permits.

For every traveler heading to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park to see mountain gorillas, this is a crucial step. Before you consider scheduling a scheduled flight to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, you must have secured a gorilla trekking permit in advance. In Bwindi, there are four distinct sectors for gorilla trekking: Nkuringo, Ruhija, Buhoma, and Rushaga. When you make a reservation to trek in the Nkuringo and Rushaga gorilla trekking regions, which are located in the southern portion of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, you will fly to Kisoro airstrip. Similarly, if you make a reservation for Ruhija and Buhoma, which are located in the northern portion of the park, you will fly to Kihihi airstrip, from where you will base your ride to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. It is advisable that you secure your gorilla trekking or habituation permits well in advance, ideally three months before to your intended departure date. Please get in touch with us for advice and additional details on the most effective way to do this. Recall that while gorilla trekking occurs throughout the park, gorilla habituation takes place exclusively in Rushaga, in the southern portion.
