Uganda Gorilla Trekking
Trek mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest — home to roughly half the world’s mountain gorillas — on private safaris from Kigali or Kampala.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Bwindi is a UNESCO World Heritage forest of steep ridges and ancient canopy in southwestern Uganda. Over 20 habituated gorilla families roam its four trekking sectors (Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, Nkuringo).
From Kigali in 4–5 Hours
Bwindi is only 4–5 hours by road from Kigali, making a Uganda gorilla trek an easy add-on to a Rwanda itinerary — we handle the border crossing and Ugandan permit.
