Gorilla Trekking - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park
Encountering mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is an exhilarating experience that defies description. Accompanied by experienced guides and trackers, you will embark on an early morning trek into the lush, dense rainforest on the steep mountain slopes of Bwindi.
Gorilla trekking can be demanding, with treks lasting from 45 minutes to eight hours, often in high altitudes and hot conditions. We recommend hiring a local porter to assist you on your trek. While mountain gorillas are wild animals and sightings cannot be guaranteed, the success rate is over 95%,
Once you find your gorilla family, you'll have an hour to quietly observe these magnificent creatures. Time will fly by, so savor every moment, not just through your camera lens.
For our scheduled departures, we typically secure permits for Buhoma & Ruhija, both accessible from the Buhoma area. Some treks require a road transfer to the starting point, offering you the chance to explore different parts of this stunning region.
After your trek, unwind with a complimentary massage at Buhoma Lodge or take the opportunity to explore the vibrant Bwindi community.
