Embark on one of the most exhilarating wildlife experiences in the world with a gorilla trekking adventure in Africa’s misty mountain forests. Gorilla trekking offers the rare opportunity to encounter the endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, providing a life-changing, intimate experience with these magnificent creatures.

The trek typically takes place in Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda, or the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Each destination offers its own unique appeal, from Rwanda’s scenic volcanoes to Uganda’s dense forests.

During your trek, you will be accompanied by experienced guides and park rangers, who will help you navigate through lush forests and rugged terrains to locate one of the gorilla families. The trek can range from a short walk to several hours of hiking, depending on the location of the gorillas. The excitement builds as you approach the family, and once you reach them, you’ll be allowed to spend an hour observing the gorillas in their natural environment. Watch in awe as they play, feed, and interact with each other. It’s a moment of deep connection with one of nature’s most intelligent and gentle species.

Gorilla trekking is not just about the gorillas – the surrounding environment is rich in biodiversity. You’ll also see various species of birds, monkeys, and other wildlife, and your guide will provide fascinating information about the ecosystem and the ongoing conservation efforts to protect these incredible animals.

For an added experience, consider combining your gorilla trek with golden monkey tracking (for a chance to see the endangered golden monkeys), visiting the Dian Fossey Memorial in Rwanda, or hiking up the stunning volcanoes and hills that surround these parks.
