Gilead Summit Holidays

At Gilead Summit Holidays, we don't just plan trips — we craft moments that stay with you for a lifetime. Based in Entebbe, Uganda, and fully licensed by the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB/RTT/TT/2023/100838), we are a premier luxury safari and tour operator specialising in East Africa's most extraordinary wildlife and cultural experiences. Here is everything we offer: 🦍 1. Gorilla Trekking Safaris Come face-to-face with one of the world's rarest and most magnificent creatures — the mountain gorilla. We organise expert-guided gorilla trekking experiences in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in Uganda ($800/person) and Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda ($1,500/person). We handle every detail: permit acquisition, lodge bookings, transfers, and a briefing by expert naturalist guides who know these forests like the back of their hand. There are fewer than 1,100 mountain gorillas left on earth — and we'll take you to them. 🐒 2. Chimpanzee Tracking Uganda is home to over 5,000 chimpanzees — our closest living relatives-, and we offer immersive tracking experiences in Kibale Forest National Park, the primate capital of the world, and Budongo Forest in Murchison Falls. Watch these intelligent, social creatures swing through the canopy, forage, and interact in their natural habitat. It is raw, it is real, and it is unforgettable. 🦁 3. Big Five & Savannah Wildlife Safaris Uganda and the wider East African region offer some of the continent's most diverse and spectacular game viewing. Our safari circuits cover: Queen Elizabeth National Park is legendary for its tree-climbing lions in Ishasha, massive elephant herds, hippo-filled Kazinga Channel, and over 600 bird species. Murchison Falls National Park — Uganda's largest park, where the Nile forces itself through a 7-metre gorge in one of nature's most powerful spectacles, surrounded by lions, giraffes, buffaloes, and crocodiles. Lake Mburo National Park Uganda's only park with zebras, offering intimate, crowd-free game drives and horseback safaris just a few hours from Kampala. We operate both lodge safaris (premium, handpicked accommodation) and camping safaris for the adventurous traveller. 🐦 4. Birdwatching Safaris Uganda is a birder's paradise — with over 1,060 recorded species, it holds more bird species than all of Europe combined. We design specialist birdwatching safaris targeting iconic species like the prehistoric Shoebill Stork, the African Green Broadbill, the Shelley's Crimsonwing, and hundreds more across wetlands, forests, and savannahs. Whether you are a seasoned twitcher or a curious first-timer, our guides will leave your life list looking extraordinary. 🌍 5. Multi-Country East Africa Itineraries Why stop at one country when East Africa offers so much? We design seamless multi-country safari circuits combining the best of Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania into one cohesive journey. Think mountain gorillas in Bwindi, golden monkeys in Rwanda, the Masai Mara's Great Migration, and Kilimanjaro on the horizon — all planned, connected, and guided by us from start to finish. 🎒 6. Custom Private & Group Safaris No two travellers are the same — and no two Gilead itineraries are either. We build fully bespoke private safaris tailored to your dates, budget, interests, and travel style. We also organise group safaris for families, corporate teams, travel agents, and incentive groups. From a romantic 5-day getaway to a 21-day grand East Africa circuit for 20 guests, our team designs, coordinates, and delivers every element with precision and passion. 🏨 7.
