What you'll do

On the ground

  • Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

    Hidden within one of Africa's oldest rainforests, Bwindi is home to nearly half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas.

    Accompanied by experienced Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers, you'll trek through dense forest in search of a habituated gorilla family. The hike itself is part of the adventure, leading you through lush vegetation, towering trees, and breathtaking mountain scenery.

    Then comes the unforgettable moment.

    Standing quietly among these gentle giants as they feed, groom their young, and interact naturally is an emotional experience that few wildlife encounters can rival.
