Gorilla trekking Uganda

Gorilla tracking should definitely be one of the activities on your bucket list: you will be walking through dense forest and searching for mountain gorillas under the supervision of a ranger of the national park. One of the best places in the world for gorilla trekking is Uganda and we will give you some reasons why.

1. First of all, the nature with all its forests, mountains, lakes and volcanos is breathtaking. The environment where you’ll be in the presence of a family of gorillas is already amazing of itself.

2. Secondly, Uganda is a stable and safe country and you won’t need to take precautions as in Congo, one of the other countries in the world where gorilla trekking is possible. Hence you can enjoy the fullest of the tour in a peaceful way.

3. The third reason is the costs; to enter a national park for gorilla tracking you will be paying park entrance and have to book a gorilla permit in advance. The costs for a gorilla permit are 700 USD per person in Uganda, which is about half the amount you would pay for a permit in Rwanda. This neighbouring country is the third and last country in the world where a gorilla trekking is possible.
