Uganda Gorilla Trekking Safari

The Uganda Gorilla Trekking Safari is a 3-day trip into Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that shelters more than half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas. It combines the gorilla trek with a photo stop at the Equator and a walking safari at Lake Mburo, making it a compact, adventure-rich extension to a Tanzania safari.

Bwindi is a 321-square-kilometer forest in southwestern Uganda with remarkable biodiversity. For travelers who want variety, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is an alternative, home to the Nyakagezi gorilla family and three volcanoes, with opportunities for golden monkey trekking.

It is an active, on-the-move itinerary with long scenic drives (or short internal flights) and a genuinely physical forest trek at its heart — the adventure-forward alternative to the Rwanda gorilla trip.
