It takes careful planning and careful attention to detail to ensure that every detail of a luxury gorilla flying safari to Uganda’s Bwindi National Park is perfect. It is not easy to satisfy the discerning safari customers who have seen it all.

We at Katland Safaris are happy to provide you with the essentials of a high-end air safari to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Luxury safaris that visit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to see gorillas are listed below.

Think About Getting Permits and Going on Exclusive Gorilla Treks

Consider reserving and scheduling an exclusive gorilla hike while organizing a luxury flying safari to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Your customers will get the opportunity to travel with an entire gorilla family all to themselves during a unique gorilla trekking experience. To secure the services of a whole gorilla family, you must schedule eight gorilla permits in advance.

Additionally, you have the option to inform UWA in writing that you would want your guests to hike the gorillas alone on the day of permit reservation. If this is approved, your customers will get a full regardless of their age. Because no more than eight individuals are allowed to accompany a gorilla family on a trip, it is necessary to reserve all eight gorilla permits.

Gorilla family allocation is formally done at park headquarters on the day of trekking, therefore if UWA refuses to give you permission for exclusive gorilla trekking when you book your permits, you may still seek it on the day of trekking.

You will know exactly where you will be trekking gorillas when you purchase your gorilla permits; this information will also help you pick the ideal resort for your stay and the airstrip to land or take off from. Fly into Kisoro and book lodges in Buhoma and Ruhija if you book gorilla permits in those areas. Luxury lodges in Rushaga and Nkuringo are worth considering when booking gorilla permits.

Think about charter flights instead of scheduled ones.

Instead of taking a regular aircraft from Entebbe to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, you may want to look into charters that land in Kisoro or Kihihi. This is due to the fact that charter flights are available 24/7 and that all amenities on board may be customized to meet the specific needs of your high-end clientele.

If you want to make sure your customers have enough of room for seats and baggage, you should go with charter instead of scheduled and think about larger crafts like a Grand Caravan. Most Ugandan businesses provide both options from Entebbe International Airport or Kajansi Airstrip. Send us a message if you’d want more information about charter flights and the businesses that provide them.

Think about booking the whole Luxury Lodge for yourself

After you’ve decided which area of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park your customers may visit to see mountain gorillas, the next step is to see if any luxurious lodges in that area are available and to reserve rooms in advance. If your guests fall into the “ultra-luxury” category, you may want to think about booking a whole luxury lodge for their stay, complete with rooms and amenities.

To guarantee your most discerning high-end customers the seclusion and safety they deserve throughout their stay in Bwindi, you are pushing for an exclusive occupancy policy for the lodge. A lot of the wealthy bring security detail members who can utilize the second room. To pull this off, you must plan ahead and reserve everything.

Instead of using safari vans for transfers, 4×4 Land Cruisers or Jeeps
Kisoro and Kihihi are two neighboring airstrips that both scheduled and chartered aircraft may land at. Your customers will need to be driven to the lodge from this point forward.

It is strongly suggested that customers in the luxury market go for 4×4 luxury land cruisers or Jeeps since these vehicles are designed to meet the basic criteria expected by this class. We will make sure that all transports involving the airfield, the lodge, and the gorillas are handled in luxury 4×4 Land Cruisers or Nissan Jeeps when you contact Katland Safaris. For more information, please get in touch with us.

Reserve lodging, transportation, and permits in advance.

It is important to give yourself plenty of time to plan and schedule all of the necessary components for a luxury gorilla flying safari to Bwindi National Park. Gorilla permits, lodges, and flights should ideally be booked at least one to two years in advance.

Doing so will ensure that you have reserved the lodging and tour operator of your choice during a period when many others have failed to do so. You may also take advantage of the enough time to make any modifications to ensure a smooth progression of events.

Take into account the start or finish of peak seasons

June, July, August, December, January, and February are peak months for gorilla trekking. Gorilla permits are in high demand during these months, therefore it can be difficult to get the eight permits you need for private gorilla trekking.

If you want to escape the crowds, choose a month that is either just before or just after peak season. Please get in touch if you would want additional details about when it is ideal to plan a super-luxury flying gorilla safari to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

Supporting local causes or protecting the environment

Most of the time, the individual that arranges luxury gorilla safaris would be happy to help out a local cause or contribute to environmental conservation efforts. It would be kind to recommend some community and environmental programs where your affluent guests may volunteer, contribute, or give back while you are preparing their gorilla safari to Bwindi.

Follow standard protocol for tipping, and do so ahead of time if at all feasible.

When visiting Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to see mountain gorillas, it is customary to tip the staff at Katland Safaris for going above and beyond. A tip is a way for us to show our gratitude for the assistance of a guide, porter, or server.

It is more convenient for wealthy individuals to have the tour guide take care of tipping during the safari if they pay for it in advance. To avoid the impression of cheating, tipping should be done carefully.

There are sufficient sedan chairs and porters for the gorilla hiking expedition.

The wealthy usually want to be helped by gorillas. Seeing the gorillas is their primary objective. You should be in reasonably good shape to go gorilla trekking since it is a physically demanding activity. Hiring porters will make trekking gorillas much easier for your wealthy clients.

Porters like these will be a huge help when it comes to pushing and pulling heavy bags for your customers. Anyone who would like to be taken to the gorillas, whether due to infirmity, age, or lack of mobility, should bring a sedan chair or stretcher. Get in touch with us.
