Gorilla trekking in Uganda is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that allows you to come face-to-face with the endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Uganda is one of the few countries in the world where you can find these gentle giants, and it offers an incredible opportunity to witness them up close.
The trek itself can take anywhere from 1 to 6 hours, depending on the location of the gorilla family you are assigned to and their current whereabouts. The trekking experience can be physically demanding, as it often involves hiking through dense forests and uneven terrain.
Once the gorilla group is located, you'll spend approximately one hour observing and quietly observing them from a safe distance. This hour spent with the gorillas is a magical and awe-inspiring experience as you watch them interact, play, and go about their daily routines.
