Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Gorilla trekking in Bwindi is one of the most unique safari experiences in Uganda. You walk through thick forest trails with guides who track the movements of mountain gorillas. The trek may take a few hours depending on where the gorillas are located.

When you meet them, you spend one hour watching their behavior. You see how they feed, play, and interact as a family group. The close encounter gives you a clear look at their social life.

To prepare, carry strong hiking boots, light rain gear, and drinking water. The terrain can be steep and muddy, so you need to be ready for the conditions.

Permits are limited, so booking in advance is important. Each permit allows you to join a small group with a ranger guide. This keeps the experience organized and protects the gorillas.

If you want to add more to your trip, combine the trek with a visit to Lake Bunyonyi. The lake is nearby and offers a peaceful stop after the trek.
