Gorilla Trekking

Thrilling gorilla trekking experiences

Numbering just over 1,000, the endangered mountain gorillas in Africa represent the ultimate game viewing encounter. Found in only a handful of locations (Uganda, Rwanda and The Democratic Republic of the Congo), trekkers will journey through a series of breathtaking forest routes to discover these striking creatures, and to be one of the few people who get to see them up close is a once in a lifetime experience. 

Gorilla trekking is one of the most exciting experiences in Africa; knowledgeable rangers will help you track a gorilla family, carefully guiding you towards them; giving you up to an hour to observe these majestic creatures. The gorillas are wild but have become used to seeing humans after years of habituation, so you can watch young gorillas playfully interact with their parents, while a silverback looks straight at you.

The trek itself requires some stamina and a degree of luck, but you will be rewarded with an unforgettable and magical encounter with these wonderful primates. Permits are required to view the gorillas but they are certainly a worthy cause, as the money raised goes towards maintaining the parks and protecting the wildlife.
