Safari Overview

Take a nature walk through the thick forests in search of the marvellous Mountain Gorilla. Gorilla tracking is arguably one of the most rewarding wildlife encounters in Africa. Although chimps are more closely related to humans, gorillas seem to connect more with us as visitors. Nothing prepares you for being stared at by a gorilla. And that is exactly what they do: they seem to be looking.

Tour Highlights

  • Up-close encounter with Mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.

  • Scenic forest hikes through lush vegetation, waterfalls, and bird-rich environments.

  • Cultural interactions with local Batwa communities to learn about their traditions and forest life.

  • Wildlife viewing of other species like forest elephants, duikers, and various monkey species.

  • Spectacular photography opportunities of gorillas, landscapes, and biodiversity.

  • Guided tracking experience with expert rangers, ensuring safety and rich insights into gorilla behaviour.

  • Breathtaking landscapes, including misty hills, dense jungles, and panoramic views of Uganda’s highlands.
