Uganda & Rwanda

Gorilla Trekking Safaris — Bwindi & Volcanoes National Park

One hour face to face with a habituated mountain gorilla family, with permits, transfers and lodges arranged for you.

How it works

Planning Your Gorilla Trek

Everything you need to know before booking a mountain gorilla experience.

Choose Uganda or Rwanda

Bwindi offers a longer, wilder trek; Volcanoes National Park is quicker to reach from Kigali.

We Secure Your Permit

Gorilla permits are limited daily. We check availability for your dates and reserve them once confirmed.

Fitness & Preparation

Treks can last one to six hours over steep, humid forest terrain. Reasonable fitness and proper boots matter.

One Hour With Gorillas

Time with a habituated family is limited to one hour, at a respectful distance, with a park ranger team.

What To Pack

Waterproof jacket, long sleeves, gardening gloves, hiking boots, water and a camera without flash.

Responsible Trekking

Small groups, health screening and strict park rules protect the gorillas and their habitat.
