About This Experience

Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to roughly half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas - approximately 450 individuals in habituated family groups. Trekking through the ancient montane forest to spend an hour with these gentle giants is one of Earth's most profound wildlife experiences.

The trek through Bwindi's dense vegetation can range from one to eight hours, depending on gorilla locations. When you finally encounter a family group - silverbacks, females, juveniles, and infants - time seems to stop. The gorillas' human-like expressions, complex social interactions, and peaceful nature create deeply moving moments.

Conservation success has brought gorillas back from the brink of extinction, with numbers slowly increasing. Your permit fee directly funds conservation and local communities. This is wildlife tourism at its most meaningful, where every visit contributes to species survival.
