A Gorilla Trek In Uganda

Incredible in their vigor and gentleness, gorillas have earned the nickname “gentle giants” for good reason. Following an early morning breakfast, you will be assigned a gorilla family and a ranger guide to accompany you on your trek through the forest. After a briefing from your ranger guide, you will break into smaller groups to hike with certain families of gorillas in the jungle.

Once you and your guide/trackers have located the gorillas, you will have one hour to spend with them. Depending on where they slept the night before, the gorilla journey can take anywhere from a few minutes to many hours. You should hire a porter to carry your day bag and guide you through the forest’s difficult terrain.
