Begin Your Forever in the Pearl of Africa

There is no more intimate beginning to a marriage than standing face-to-face with a mountain gorilla in the ancient forests of Bwindi, or watching the sun melt into the Kazinga Channel while lions prowl the golden savannah below.

This lovingly crafted 7-day journey takes you and your partner through Uganda’s most awe-inspiring landscapes — from the mist-shrouded impenetrable forest to the sweeping plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park — in private comfort, guided by experts who know these places as home.

Every lodge has been chosen for romance. Every activity designed for two. Every moment thoughtfully curated so you can simply be present with each other and with Africa.

Gorilla Trekking — The Defining Moment

This is why you came. After a briefing with your UWA ranger guide, you enter the impenetrable forest and begin the search for one of the habituated mountain gorilla families.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gorilla trekking involves hiking through dense forest terrain and can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours, depending on where the gorillas are that day. A moderate level of fitness is recommended. Porters are available to assist you for a small fee, and rangers set a pace suitable for all trekkers. If you have health concerns, please inform us and we will advise accordingly.
Uganda is a year-round destination, but the best periods are the dry seasons: June to September and December to February. These months offer optimal wildlife viewing, drier forest trails for gorilla trekking, and generally better road conditions. Gorilla permits book out months in advance, so early planning is strongly advised.
Most nationalities require a tourist visa for Uganda. The e-visa is available online at visas.immigration.go.ug and costs approximately USD $50 per person. East African Tourist Visas are also available if you plan to visit Kenya or Rwanda in the same trip. We are happy to guide you through the process.
Absolutely. This itinerary is a template and every honeymoon we arrange is uniquely personalised. We can add chimpanzee tracking in Kibale, extend to Kidepo Valley National Park, include a Nile cruise at Murchison Falls, add a private sunset dinner, or adjust lodges and pacing. Simply tell us your vision.
Gorilla trekking permits cost USD $800 per person and are issued by the Uganda Wildlife Authority. They are in high demand and should be booked several months in advance, especially for peak season travel. Once you confirm your dates and make a deposit, we handle all permit procurement on your behalf.
Uganda is widely regarded as one of East Africa’s safest and most welcoming destinations. Our guests routinely describe Ugandans as among the friendliest people they have encountered in their travels. We have been operating tours here for over a decade without incident. We also provide 24/7 on-trip support via WhatsApp for complete peace of mind.
Cancellations made more than 60 days before departure receive a full refund less gorilla permit costs (which are non-refundable once booked). Cancellations 30-60 days before departure are subject to a 30% cancellation fee. Cancellations within 30 days are non-refundable. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance. Please request our full terms and conditions for details.
