Uganda Gorilla Tours Packages
Uganda is one of only three countries in the world where you can see endangered mountain gorillas in the wild. With nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas living in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and additional families in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Uganda offers one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife experiences.
Whether you’re looking for a short gorilla trekking adventure or a comprehensive wildlife safari, Uganda has tour packages to suit every travel style and budget. Most gorilla safari packages include accommodation, transport, park fees, and gorilla permits, with many also combining chimpanzee tracking and wildlife viewing.
Why Choose Uganda for Gorilla Trekking?
Uganda is renowned for:
- Nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas
- Excellent value compared with many other gorilla destinations
- Multiple trekking sectors in Bwindi
- Opportunities to combine gorilla trekking with wildlife safaris
- Friendly local communities
- Spectacular mountain scenery
A standard gorilla trekking permit for foreign non-residents is US$800 (subject to change by the Uganda Wildlife Authority), so booking well in advance is recommended, especially during peak travel seasons.
