Trips » Gorilla trekking
Gorilla trekking is one of the most exciting adventures in Africa. Not even in Africa, on the entire planet! After all, mountain gorillas can be found only in three countries on this continent: Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo.
It will be a chance for you to explore the African land without a safari jeep. You’ll throw a backpack over your shoulders, take a trekking stick, and set off along the narrow roads of the rainforest. You will discover landscapes that are hidden from most human eyes. One more fact will enhance the exclusivity of the moment. You and seven others in your group are the only people on planet Earth who have had the chance to see a mountain gorilla today.
These primates are on the brink of extinction. The gorillas have a total population of barely 1,000. Thus, today, only a few people a day can see mountain gorillas. And each gorilla encounters only one group of tourists per day.
So, your path will be through the impenetrable jungle. You will go up and down winding paths until you meet the primate. One will be one of the most memorable encounters of your life.
It is an amazing experience to meet wild animals without cages or other obstacles. The gorilla will be so close to you that it feels like you can reach out and touch it. For one hour you can watch the funny primate and his family, take vivid pictures and enjoy being one with the wildlife.
