Gorilla trekking is one of the most profound wildlife experiences on Earth. In the heart of Africa, within the mist-covered slopes of the Virunga Mountains, lives the majestic mountain gorilla.

Planning Your Trip

The first step in any gorilla trekking journey is securing your permit. In Uganda, permits are issued by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA).

Best Time to Visit

While gorilla trekking can be done year-round, the dry seasons (June to September and December to February) offer the best conditions for trekking through the forest.
