Gorilla trekking is a guided hike through Rwanda’s forests, such as Volcanoes National Park, to observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. It’s an incredible opportunity to see these endangered animals up close.
All gorilla trekking in Uganda happens in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, located in the western part of the country. It’s home to several gorilla families that can be visited by tourists.
Gorilla trekking is available year-round, but the dry seasons (June to September and December to February) are often recommended for easier hiking conditions
