The Forest is so thick you can’t see the person walking less than a meter in front of you, ground as slippery as ice, and at a minimum angle of 30 degrees – this is where your Bwindi gorilla trekking adventure in Uganda begins! No other wildlife encounter in Africa matches the astounding experience of spending time face-to-face with wild mountain gorillas. Gorilla Trekking takes place in a handful of far-flung locations, adding a layer of exotic adventure to these safaris that is hard to match on any other itinerary. The fact that gorillas as a species are on the brink of extinction and treks are a highly restricted activity, encountering wild gorillas is considered a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience.
In this 3 Days Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Safari, you will have the experience of a lifetime watching at close range these majestic apes as they feed, play, and relax.

If that is the case, kindly contact our consultants to make that itinerary for you.
