Gorillas and Game Drives: Combining Bwindi with Queen Elizabeth National Park

Gorillas and Game Drives: Combining Bwindi with Queen Elizabeth National Park

Published August 26, 2026 · By · 1 min read

The Bwindi-Queen Elizabeth combination is Uganda’s most popular gorilla-and-wildlife pairing for good reason — genuinely short transfer time and two very different environments back to back.

The Route

The drive between the two parks passes through Ishasha sector, itself worth a stop for tree-climbing lions.

What to Expect in Each Park

Bwindi is slow, deliberate rainforest trekking; Queen Elizabeth is open-vehicle game drives and a boat cruise — a genuine change of pace within the same trip.
