What makes this trip

Uganda Gorilla Trekking Tour

From the shores of Lake Victoria in Entebbe, this gorilla tour in Uganda heads southwest across the Equator to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, one of Africa’s most ancient rainforests and a stronghold of the endangered mountain gorilla. Here, Uganda gorilla trekking takes you deep into the forest with Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers for a full hour with a habituated gorilla family, while a Batwa cultural experience introduces the community whose history is woven into these forests.

Though small in size, Uganda captivates visitors with its natural beauty and warm hospitality. With unhurried days back in Entebbe and Kampala, this gorilla tour in Uganda balances the trek of a lifetime with real time to enjoy the country.
