Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

If there are only a few life changing events to happen to you this lifetime then this will be one of them!

It is hard to describe the feeling when you see a Mountain Gorilla for the first time and Gorilla Trekking in Uganda is an experience not to be missed!

There is no denying that these creatures are eerily human-like in their movements and their antics will have you laughing one minute and tearing-up the next.

Your ranger will lead you to where a Gorilla family is currently hanging out in 1 of 3 National Parks in either Uganda or its 2 neighboring countries (Gorilla’s don’t care about borders and zones apparently) and you get 1 precious hour to quietly observe.

This experience is truly one of the most unique adventure travel experiences Africa offers, with Gorilla's only living in a few select countries in Africa.

Make the most of it as you may never get another chance if the poachers have their way.

Riah Cohen07 Jul 2010: Hello. I was wondering if you had a 3 day gorilla trek, leaving the Kampala area on Monday, August 23rd, see the gorillas on the 24th and return the following day? If you do have this available, what is the price? Additionally, if I could join a group to reduce the price, I would like to do that. Thank you.
Riah Cohen07 Jul 2010: Hello. Do you have a 3 day gorilla trek leaving from the Kampala area on Monday, August 23rd, seeing the gorillas on the 24th and returning the following day? If so, what is the price? I would love to join a group rather than have a private tour, especially if that saves money. Please let me know. Thank you.
