Gorilla Trek

On Rwanda and Uganda trips, you get a completely unique opportunity to get up close to one of our closest fellow gorillas. Today, gorillas are an endangered species, so it is not every day that you can be allowed to get as close as you can on this gorilla trek in Rwanda and Uganda.

The trek takes place in Rwanda’s rainforest together with so-called “gorilla trackers”. Equipped with cuffs in hand, they make their way through the Central African rainforest and to the gorillas.

Gorilla trekking is made in such a way that it disturbs the gorillas as little as possible. Prior to the trip, you will be assigned the group of gorillas that you will be allowed to visit on your Rwanda and Uganda trip. The distance on the hike can therefore vary incredibly much, but for the sake of the gorillas, it is not possible to choose for yourself.

The park must of course be enjoyed both on land and at sea – therefore you come on a boat trip on the Kazinga canal, where you can experience hippos, water bucks and more. When traveling to Rwanda and Uganda, do not deceive yourself for a visit to Uganda’s most popular national park.
