Coming up close to endangered Mountain Gorillas in the forests of Uganda is a thrilling lifetime experience that surely ranks on most people’s travel bucket lists. Trekking at a high altitude through dense forests and up steep terrain can be challenging, especially in the African heat, but the hour you get to spend with these gentle giants is worth every step.
Only 8 guests may visit one gorilla family at a time. One trek per day/ family.
Gorilla Tracking is managed fully by the Uganda Wildlife Authority, with a head ranger, security personnel (who are armed as a precaution against wildlife, among others), and trackers, with optional porters, who walk with the guests until a family is located. Once the gorillas are found, the rangers only take the guests closer to the gorillas, and your viewing time commences, which is one hour.
Porters – they are from the local communities, rotated for revenue sharing, which goes directly to them. Recommended at least 1 per person for trekking. Fees are usually additional to your tour and paid directly.
Included: Gorilla Tracking
After your relaxed breakfast, transfer to Kihiihi or Kisoro Airstrip for a domestic flight to Entebbe. Depending on your flight time, you will proceed to the airport for your outbound flight.
