Gorilla Trekking in Uganda
Uganda is widely regarded as one of the top destinations for mountain gorilla trekking. Its Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park are home to more than half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population.
Your journey begins with a briefing from our experienced field guides who explain the trekking rules, safety protocols, and how to interact respectfully with gorillas. Treks vary in duration, depending on the gorilla family’s location, ranging from a few hours to a full-day expedition. Along the way, you will explore stunning rainforest landscapes, spot other wildlife such as golden monkeys and forest elephants, and enjoy the sights and sounds of Uganda’s rich biodiversity.
Learn more about Uganda’s gorilla trekking parks on the official Uganda Wildlife Authority website.
Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda

Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park is another iconic destination for gorilla trekking. Known for its scenic volcanic mountains and well-protected gorilla families, Rwanda offers a slightly more structured trekking experience compared to Uganda.
Our guides ensure you have all necessary permits and provide expert tips for photography, observation, and safe interaction with gorillas. Rwanda’s tourism infrastructure, combined with our hands-on support, ensures a smooth, enriching, and unforgettable gorilla trekking experience.
