Gorilla safaris in Uganda and Rwanda offer the ultimate primate encounters in Africa, bringing travelers face to face with one of the world’s most endangered and awe-inspiring species—the mountain gorilla. Our carefully crafted gorilla safaris are designed to provide meaningful, responsible, and unforgettable experiences in the heart of East Africa’s pristine rainforests, where these gentle giants thrive in their natural habitat.
In Uganda, our gorilla safaris take you deep into the ancient forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. These destinations are home to over half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population. Trekking through thick jungle vegetation, guided by expert rangers, you experience the thrill of tracking gorilla families and observing their complex social behaviors at close range. Uganda also offers unique experiences such as the Gorilla Habituation Experience, allowing extended time with gorillas and deeper insight into conservation and research efforts.
In Rwanda, our gorilla safaris are centered in Volcanoes National Park, a land of mist-covered volcanoes, bamboo forests, and rich conservation history. Rwanda is known for its well-organized trekking experience, shorter transfer times, and premium safari infrastructure. Encounters with gorillas here are intimate and deeply moving, enhanced by the park’s dramatic scenery and its legacy as the base of Dian Fossey’s pioneering conservation work.
Our gorilla safaris in both Uganda and Rwanda are thoughtfully planned to balance adventure, comfort, and conservation. We work closely with local communities and wildlife authorities to ensure that each journey directly supports gorilla protection and sustainable tourism. Whether you choose Uganda, Rwanda, or a combined itinerary, our gorilla safaris promise an authentic, life-changing encounter with one of nature’s most remarkable species.
