Gorilla Safaris






Gorilla Safaris
Gorilla Safaris
Face-to-face with Africa’s gentle giants.
Imagine trekking through lush montane forests as dawn light filters through towering trees. Soon, you’re silent in the presence of a mountain gorilla family, watching as they groom, play, and move through their ancestral home. With fewer than 1,000 individuals left in the wild, each encounter is a profound privilege and a powerful reminder of Africa’s urgent conservation story.
Whether in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, where golden monkeys share the forest, or Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, our expert guides and seamless logistics ensure your trek is both moving and entirely unforgettable.
Highlights
- Mountain gorilla trekking in Rwanda & Uganda
- Golden monkey encounters in Volcanoes Park
- Expert trackers and low-impact forest treks
- Premium forest lodges and private cabins
