7 Day Uganda Family Gorilla Safari: Kibale, Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi

This 7 day Uganda family gorilla safari is planned for parents travelling with teenagers. Together you trek chimpanzees in Kibale, cruise the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park and spend an hour with a mountain gorilla family in Bwindi, with time for village and wetland walks in between.

Who is the 7 day Uganda family gorilla safari for?

Gorilla trekking is only open to people aged 15 and over, and chimpanzee trekking to those aged 12 and over, so this trip suits families with older children. Younger siblings can join the trip and do the Bigodi Wetland walk, the boat cruise and game drives while the others trek.

Grandparents and extended family often join. Porters can carry bags and help on steep slopes, and rangers try to give less active walkers a gorilla family that is closer.

What does the family itinerary include?

One night in Entebbe, two in Kibale, one in Queen Elizabeth and two in Bwindi, with the return to Entebbe on day 7.

Which lodges are used?

Turaco Treetops Lodge in Kibale, a lodge in Queen Elizabeth, and The Haven Lodge and Gorilla Safari Lodge in Buhoma, or similar. We confirm family rooms and child rates in your quote.
