One hour with mountain gorillas can shape an entire journey.
Rwanda’s treks take place in Volcanoes National Park. In Uganda, the options are Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga Gorilla National Parks. On a standard trek, time with the gorillas is limited to one hour once you find them; the walk can take several hours.
A detail that matters when planning Uganda: Bwindi has four trekking sectors. The permit location helps guide the lodge choice and transfers, so those reservations need to work together.
Be candid with us about your comfort on steep, uneven ground. We can discuss the route, timing, and support with local partners while checking permit availability. The forest has its own pace, and it deserves space in the itinerary.
If this trip has been on your list for years, let’s work through the practical questions together.
