The Mountain Gorilla is an endangered species living in the remote and ancient forests south west of Uganda - in Bwindi and Mgahinga. Bwindi is of course best known for its primates – gorillas and chimpanzees, which live in this forest region. You’ll find the country’s stunning natural beauty breathtaking and its warm, friendly people quite welcoming. You may also consider an optional visit to the Source of the mighty River Nile at Jinja, with the option of a half-day whitewater rafting adventure. Gorilla trekking is strenuous exercise.
Trekkers should be physically fit. Protective hand gear and sturdy boots are a must. Age limit for trekking is 15 years. Our itineraries are varied and can be extended or changed to suit individual clients. For conservation reasons, access to the Gorillas is carefully controlled. Those wishing to see the Gorillas need to book in advance in order to be able to secure permits.
