On this 10 Days Gorilla Tracking – Zanzibar Safari, enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience of Gorilla tracking in Bwindi, then unwind on the tropical shores of Zanzibar in one unforgettable 10-day East African adventure. A 10-day Gorilla Trekking & Zanzibar safari brings together two remarkably different experiences. First, you venture deep into the mist-covered forests of Bwindi, Uganda, to search for wild mountain gorillas.
Then, you fly to Zanzibar. The pace changes. The hiking boots come off. Warm Indian Ocean water replaces the cool mountain air. Days become slower, filled with white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, fresh seafood, traditional dhow cruises, and the timeless character of Stone Town.

Your 10 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking - Zanzibar Safari begins in Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. Depending on your international flight schedule, you will arrive at Entebbe International Airport, where you are welcomed and transferred to your hotel. Rather than rushing immediately into the safari, the first stage can be kept comfortable and relaxed; use this time to recover from the journey, enjoy dinner, and prepare for the days ahead. Dinner and overnight at Boma Hotel Entebbe. Dinner only
Today, the journey to Bwindi begins; first destination of 10 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking -Zanzibar Safari. If flying, you will be transferred to the Airport to catch the morning domestic flight to Bwindi, where you will be picked up and transferred to the lodge. If travelling by road, you will embark on a long journey southwest toward Uganda's gorilla wild home. The drive itself becomes part of the experience. Uganda changes dramatically as you leave the urban environment behind, with one major stopover at the Equator for photography and experiments, and lunch. Roads wind through countryside, villages, farms, and rolling hills before the landscape gradually becomes greener and more mountainous. Once you arrive in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, you can already feel the atmosphere changing; the forest is closer, the air is cooler, and tomorrow's gorilla trek begins to feel real.
Dinner and overnight at Gorilla Safari Lodge. Full Board
Your trekking day starts early with breakfast, then you head to the park headquarters for a briefing. Here, Rangers explain the trekking procedures, safety guidelines, and gorilla etiquette before you begin your walk into the forest. Accompanied by a ranger, you head into the forest to start the trek into the wild home of the mountain gorillas, with no guaranteed route, no safari road, and no way of knowing exactly how long the forest will ask you to trek. That uncertainty is part of what makes gorilla trekking so exciting. The terrain can be steep and muddy; you may cross narrow trails, climb through dense vegetation, or move beneath towering trees. Depending on where the gorilla family has travelled, the trek can take several hours until you find them.
The first encounter is difficult to describe because it is more emotional than it is simply visual. Mountain gorillas are enormous, powerful animals, yet much of their behavior is remarkably familiar. You may observe a mother patiently caring for her infant, young gorillas wrestling or climbing trees, adults feeding quietly, and the silverback sitting nearby, observing everything happening within the group. A magical moment of just you, the forest, the gorillas, and the sound of nature. After the one-on-one with the gorillas, you will trek out of the forest, and your guide will be waiting to transfer you to the lodge. Dinner and overnight at Gorilla Safari Lodge. Full Board
After the intensity of your gorilla experience, your journey will slow down; take a domestic flight from Bwindi back to Entebbe, arriving by mid-morning. This part of the journey can be designed around your regional flight to Zanzibar; connect onward to your flight to Zanzibar, Uganda mountain forests give way to Zanzibar's Indian Ocean. Upon arrival at the Airport, you will be transferred to your Beach Hotel/Resort. After gorilla trekking, Zanzibar is exactly the kind of place where you can slow down; the rest of your 10 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking -Zanzibar Safari days you will relax in the calm Zanzibar, perhaps you wake early and walk along the beach before breakfast or spend your afternoons beside the pool. Or perhaps you decide to do some activities for snorkeling, sailing, or exploring the island.
Activities to choose from during your Zanzibar Holiday Stone Town: The Soul of Zanzibar Walk through narrow streets, discover centuries-old architecture, and learn about the cultures. Visit Prison Island Go Snorkeling and Diving Swim with Dolphins
Today is the last day on the island of Zanzibar. Your final morning is deliberately unhurried; enjoy breakfast and take one last walk along the beach, listening to the ocean. Then, depending on your onward flight schedule, you will be transferred to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport for your outbound flight.
You will leave with memories of a mountain gorilla family watching you from the forest, warm Zanzibar sand beneath your feet, and the Indian Ocean stretching endlessly toward the horizon. This will be the end of your 10 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking -Zanzibar Safari
