Last Mountain Gorillas
Stand within metres of a mountain gorilla family in Bwindi's ancient forest. A privilege fewer than 90,000 people experience each year — expertly guided by Uganda's most trusted safari team.
Why Uganda for
Gorilla Trekking?
Uganda is home to nearly half the world's remaining mountain gorillas, most living within the ancient trees of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary biodiversity and breathtaking highland scenery.
Unlike other safari experiences, a gorilla trek is deeply intimate. You'll spend a precious hour with a gorilla family — watching them feed, play, and go about their lives — under the expert guidance of our experienced naturalist team. It is, without question, one of the most profound wildlife encounters on the planet.

- Buhoma, Rushaga, and Nkuringo sector options
- Habituated gorilla families for reliable encounters
- Dedicated porter service available for all trekkers
