There are fewer than 1,100 mountain gorillas left in the wild, and over half of them live in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This 4-day expedition takes you deep into the ancient forest for an intimate encounter with one of our closest relatives.
The trek through dense tropical rainforest can take 1-6 hours depending on the gorilla group’s location. When you finally reach them, you’ll spend a magical hour observing silverbacks, mothers with babies, and playful juveniles going about their daily lives — an experience that regularly tops lists of the world’s greatest wildlife encounters.
Park entry is $40 per day for non-residents, with the gorilla tracking permit costing $800 (includes park entry on trek day). An extended Gorilla Habituation Experience ($1,500) allows 4 hours with a gorilla group being accustomed to human presence.
