Gorilla & Primate Trekking

An hour with a mountain gorilla family in Bwindi or Volcanoes National Park is widely called the most profound wildlife encounter on Earth. We arrange permits, porters and the right trailhead for your fitness level.

What the trek is like

Your morning starts with a briefing at the park headquarters before you set off into the forest with trackers and porters. The walk to the family can take anywhere from under an hour to most of a morning, and then the clock starts: sixty minutes in the presence of a habituated gorilla group. [Add your own account of the encounter here.]

How demanding is it?

Treks range from gentle to strenuous depending on where the family has moved that day. Buhoma, in Bwindi, offers some of the gentlest routes, and we match the trailhead to your fitness. [Confirm and expand.]

When to go

[Add your seasonal guidance — the drier months generally make for easier trekking. Best months to confirm.]

How we plan it

We arrange gorilla permits, porters and transfers as part of a wider journey. [Add permit guidance or typical trip length if you wish.]
