Experience the magic of Uganda, home to over half of the world’s mountain gorillas in Mgahinga and Bwindi Impenetrable National Parks. Moreover, our luxury safari packages feature upscale lodges, 4×4 vehicles, and a dedicated English‑speaking guide. Consequently, you enjoy comfort and expert service from start to finish.
Gorilla Trekking Experience
Each trek begins at dawn with a safety briefing. Then, small groups of eight set off with a trained park guide. Because gorillas roam widely, the hike can last 30 minutes to six hours.
Finally, you’ll spend a full hour observing them feed, groom, and care for their young ideal for photos and lifelong memories.
