Gorilla Trekking
Embark on an extraordinary adventure with our Gorilla Trekking experience, offering a rare chance to encounter the majestic mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Found in the mist-covered rainforests of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda or Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda, this trek provides a profound connection with one of Africa’s most revered wildlife species.

Trekking Experience:
Your journey begins with a trek through dense, lush forests, guided by expert trackers who will lead you to the families of these gentle giants. The trek varies in length and difficulty, influenced by the gorillas’ location, weather conditions, and terrain. Once you reach the gorilla family, you’ll have one precious hour to observe them up close. Watch as they feed, play, and interact, gaining a unique insight into their behavior and social structures.

Seasons and Best Times to Visit:

• Dry Seasons (June to September and December to February): These are considered the best times for gorilla trekking. The trails are less muddy, and the chances of encountering the gorillas are higher as they tend to be more active. Dry weather conditions make for a more comfortable trekking experience and better visibility in the dense forest.

• Rainy Seasons (March to May and October to November): Although trekking during the rainy season can be more challenging due to muddy trails and wetter conditions, it is still possible to encounter gorillas. The forests are lush and vibrant, offering a different perspective of the habitat. Fewer tourists during this time can also mean a more exclusive experience, though you’ll need to be prepared for the wetter conditions.
