Helicopter transfers can be arranged by your tour company, which will help you choose the best days with good weather and book high-quality helicopters operated by trained and experienced pilots. These flights provide comfort and confidence for travelers. The cost of helicopter safaris to Bwindi usually ranges between USD 6,000 and USD 10,000 for a group of four people sharing one flight. It is advised to book early, especially during the peak season, to secure your seat.

Gorilla trekking in Bwindi starts early in the morning, and trekkers must be well-prepared and ready to follow the guide’s instructions. Visitors are allowed one hour to observe the gorillas in their natural habitat. During this time, it is important to keep silent and avoid loud gadgets, as gorillas are sensitive to noise.

Bwindi Forest is divided into four main sectors: Rushaga, Buhoma, Nkuringo, and Ruhija. Tour operators usually book lodges near the trekking sector of your choice to avoid delays and ensure you do not miss the early morning gorilla activities. Each sector is home to several habituated gorilla families led by a dominant male, known as the silverback. To join the trek, every visitor must have a valid gorilla permit as proof of payment.

Enjoy a unique and peaceful journey by choosing a helicopter transfer to Bwindi for your gorilla trekking adventure.
