gorilla trekking

Embark on a life-changing gorilla trekking adventure in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park. Witness majestic mountain gorillas up close.

Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park offer epic gorilla trekking experiences, with over 400 mountain gorillas and hikes lasting 2-6 hours. Permits cost $800, with groups limited to 10 people.

Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park offers more accessible trekking (2-5 hours) with 10 habituated groups, but pricier permits ($1,500). The park is home to the Dian Fossey Research Centre, contributing to gorilla conservation. Bwindi often wins for its raw, immersive feel.
