Uganda Gorilla Safaris | Top 10 Gorilla Tours & Safaris in Uganda
Gorilla Trekking invariably has an element of thrill to it as visitors seek out one of the World’s most powerful and evocative primates. Our Uganda Gorilla safaris provide a range of tours and locations that provide the very best gorilla trekking experiences. One of the four subspecies of gorillas, mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei), which since 2018 have been classified as “endangered” by the IUCN.
The World population of these Giant Apes is estimated to be around 1080 individuals in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Uganda contains up to 50% of these Giant Apes, and they are sheltered in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga National Park. Our Uganda gorilla safaris focus on the two national Parks in southwestern Uganda where they are found.
Most of our ultimate Gorilla trekking safaris begin in the bustling City of Kampala/or Entebbe, before flying or driving to either Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. These safaris range from 3 days Uganda gorilla safari to 4 days double gorilla safari, depending on how many gorilla families you plan on tracking and whether you have other activities planned.
