Tour Overview

Meeting mountain gorillas in the wild changes you. There is no other wildlife encounter quite like sitting just meters from a silverback, watching juveniles play, and locking eyes with creatures so like ourselves.

Uganda Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to roughly half of the world remaining mountain gorillas - around 450 individuals in several habituated family groups. This carefully planned itinerary maximizes your chances of an extraordinary encounter.

This is not a luxury safari. It is an adventure into one of Africa most challenging and rewarding wilderness areas. The trek can be tough but the payoff is priceless.
