Description

Gorilla trekking is a unique, thrilling and fulfilling experience! It is a journey leading one to appreciate the hidden treasures of Uganda.
The gorilla trekking experience is one of the most stunning activities which would not be missed by any traveler to Africa. The mountain gorillas are among the rare primates that travelers look for on their holiday in Africa. Mountain gorillas are found in three African countries i.e., Uganda, Rwanda, and Democratic republic of Congo (former Zaire). Among the countries Uganda is blessed with half of the population of mountain gorillas in the world
sharing time with mountain gorillas in the wilds of Africa’s rainforests is utterly magical: nothing prepares you for their sheer beauty and brawn, those soulful brown eyes, their astonishingly human-like expressions, or their extraordinarily gentle demeanor. This special encounter normally lasts just one precious hour, but Uganda is offering a new extended experience in an exciting evolution in gorilla tracking.
