Gorilla Trekking
Gorilla trekking is one of Africa’s most unforgettable wildlife experiences, offering visitors the chance to observe endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Trek through dense rainforests, misty valleys, and bamboo forests with experienced guides who provide insights into gorilla behavior, ecology, and conservation.
During the trek, you can watch gorillas feeding, playing, and interacting socially, creating intimate and once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters. Gorilla trekking is available in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, with Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Volcanoes National Park, and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park being the most popular destinations.
Best Time to Go Gorilla Trekking
Dry Seasons (June–August & December–February): Trails are less muddy, trekking is easier, and wildlife viewing is at its best.
Wet Seasons (March–May & September–November): Trails may be slippery, but the forest is lush, and there are fewer tourists, offering a more private experience.
