Walk with trained guides through Africa's magnificent volcanic regions, forging new paths as you go, always searching for that first glimpse of a wild mountain gorilla.

Once found, you'll have time to sit with them in their natural habitat, admiring our similarities, and reflecting on the fragility of life in these unique ecosystems that house the world's last remaining mountain gorillas.

Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

Uganda's slightly rugged charm is complimented by high-altitude gorilla trekking that takes you deep into the jungle. Uganda homes over half of all mountain gorillas, with a good variety of trails to choose from, so a trip to Uganda is often easier than gorilla trekking in Rwanda.

Head to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for a high-altitude trek with spectacular views, or make your way to Magahinga National Park, where you can enjoy an equally-impressive trail on the lower slopes. You may also like to visit Queen Elizabeth National Park for a few days, or spend some time at Murchison Falls.

Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda

Rwanda's hospitality rivals that of Botswana, so gorilla trekking in Rwanda combines well with a superb stay at a truly luxurious gorilla trekking lodge in Volcanoes National Park.

Those travelling for history will love the variety of experiences in Rwanda.

Visit the genocide museum in Kigali, and learn more of the incredible conservation efforts at the Diane Fossey Centre. You may also like to trek with the chimpanzees in Nyungwe Forest.

Round off your gorilla trekking experience with a few nights on a classic safari in the extraordinary Akagera National Park, which was all but lost during the genocide, and has been brought back to the thriving wilderness it is today through remarkable conservation efforts across Rwanda.

You may like to combine Rwanda with Tanzania or Kenya with Uganda for a diverse itinerary filled with exceptional wildlife experiences.
