Tour Details of the 4 Days Gorilla Trekking

Trek the giant species on your 4 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Park on this safari. Gorilla trekking in Uganda is the only experience where you get very close to the gorillas in their natural habitat. If you have read the reviews, you know this is one of the best activities to do in Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC.  

The forest park is home to nearly half of the world’s population of the endangered mountain gorillas.

Come prepared to test your fitness.

The sight of these peaceful giants will amaze you as you spend an hour observing them and taking pictures. Surely gorilla trekking in uganda is worth it.
