Ready to explore southwest Uganda — powered only by you?
This human-powered journey stretches from the Virunga volcanoes to the rapids of the Birira River. On foot, by mountain bike, and by raft, a small team crossed the heart of the “Gorilla Highlands”, following village paths, forest trails and remote waterways.
Few places on the African continent offer such extraordinary landscapes in such close proximity as southwest Uganda — where volcanoes, rainforests, and wild rivers meet.
This expedition was created in collaboration with Dirt Uganda and the Gorilla Rafting team, , ,
Keen to take on the challenge?
Two new expeditions are planned for 18–29 April 2026 and 21 October–1 November 2026.
