In order to find gorillas, gorilla trekking and tracking entails hiking or walking through the forest, sometimes across tough terrain, dense vegetation, and traversing rivers and swamps. This is a strenuous exercise that necessitates physical fitness at the time of the expedition. In Rwanda, Uganda, and the Congo, gorilla trekking offers you the chance to spend an hour with and observe gorillas in their natural environment.

The only remaining mountain gorillas may be found in four national parks in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where gorilla trekking is practiced. These include Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, Congo’s Virunga National Park, and Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.
