Uganda Luxury fly-in Safari
Uganda Luxury fly-in Safari – Gorilla trekking and game viewing in Uganda
Uganda luxury fly-in safari – If the distances of a long road-based safari aren’t really for you, then this itinerary will give you some great inspiration. A Uganda luxury fly-in safari allows you to fly between each destination rather than by road, so you can spend more time enjoying game drives and experiencing luxury camps and lodges.
This safari takes you to Uganda’s main National Parks that are linked easily by air with local carrier Aerolink. Great Adventure Safaris can tailor-make this itinerary as much as you like and choose your accommodation and how long you want to stay in each National Park with our team of travel experts.
