About Us – Uganda Gorilla Trekking
Welcome to Uganda Gorilla Trekking – Your Gateway to Life-Changing Safari Encounters in the Heart of Africa.

At Uganda Gorilla Trekking, we don’t just book tours—we guide you into the soul of Uganda’s most sacred wilderness. From the dense, mist-shrouded forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to the volcanic slopes of Mgahinga, our mission is to connect travelers with the raw, breathtaking beauty of mountain gorillas in their natural habitat—and to do it with authenticity, ethics, and heart.

We believe gorilla trekking isn’t just about seeing wildlife. It’s about feeling something ancient stir within you. It’s about looking into the eyes of a silverback and recognizing something human. It’s about walking trails that wind through conservation history, cultural heritage, and the lifeblood of Africa’s greatest ecological treasures.

What Makes Us Different
We are not just a travel company. We are storytellers, conservation allies, and cultural connectors. When you book with us, you’re not a tourist—you’re a valued guest walking into a place we call home.

Local Expertise: Every trek, tour, and itinerary is crafted by Ugandans who know the forest trails like the lines on their hands.

Authentic Experiences: We avoid cookie-cutter safaris. We personalize every journey—from your lodge to your lunch stop—so it reflects your travel style, interests, and dreams.

Community-Driven: A portion of every trip goes back to local communities through partnerships with schools, women’s cooperatives, and conservation efforts.

Conservation Commitment: We work closely with the Uganda Wildlife Authority and conservation groups to ensure your visit helps protect the very gorillas you came to see.

Why Gorilla Trekking in Uganda?
Because Uganda is home to more than half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. Because no two treks are ever the same. Because the forests of Bwindi and Mgahinga offer more than beauty—they offer silence, healing, and belonging.

And because when you stand just meters from a gorilla family, watching their eyes flicker with intelligence and emotion, you realize: this isn’t just a trip. It’s a moment you’ll carry for the rest of your life.
