Experience Gorilla Trekking

Gorilla trekking is the highlight of many East African safaris, but combining it with other experiences can transform your trip into a truly unforgettable adventure.

Rwanda and Uganda offer an incredible variety of activities that perfectly complement a mountain gorilla encounter, allowing visitors to discover the rich biodiversity, stunning landscapes, vibrant cultures, and remarkable conservation success stories of the region.

One of the most popular additions to a gorilla safari is golden monkey tracking in Volcanoes National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, where travelers can observe these rare and energetic primates moving through bamboo forests. Chimpanzee trekking is another excellent option, particularly in Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda and Kibale National Park in Uganda, where visitors can experience the excitement of tracking our closest relatives in ancient rainforests. Wildlife enthusiasts can also extend their gorilla safari with game drives in Akagera National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, or Murchison Falls National Park, where opportunities exist to see lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, and numerous bird species. These combined experiences provide a more complete African safari while showcasing the extraordinary diversity of wildlife found in Rwanda and Uganda.
