Uganda Gorilla Safaris
Uganda Gorilla Safaris
Uganda Gorilla Safaris are the most popular Adventure holidays for travellers to East Africa. Gorilla Trekking in Uganda takes place in two (02) major parks; Mgahinga Gorilla park and or Bwindi Forest park – with Bwindi Forest NP being our favourite gorilla trekking safari destination. Both Mgahinga & Bwindi are far-flung destinations located in the extreme south of the country and require up to 9 -10 hours drive from Kampala City – if flying through Entebbe. Alternatively, travellers could opt to fly in through Rwanda – The drive from Kigali (Rwanda) lasts only ±5 hours.
Gorilla Safaris require proper prior planning as all travellers intending to trek gorilla MUST have booked and FULLY paid for their gorilla trekking permit. Gorilla permits in Uganda cost US$600 per person but will increase to USD700 per person effective 01/July/2020.
For those passionate about staying longer, filming or photographing Mountain Gorillas in the wild, we recommend that you consider doing Gorilla habituation experience – a full Day – 04-hour gorilla safari experience. Gorilla Habituation permits cost US$1500 per permit.

Uganda Gorilla Safaris in Mgahinga & Bwindi are probably the best gorilla trekking Safari experiences you could ever have. However, we recommend prior planning at least 6 months in advance because gorilla permits can be scarce especially in the peak season.
