Gorilla tracking is a unique adventure that involves hiking through uneven terrain, mountains, and dense vegetation. Accompanied by National Park rangers and porters equipped with machetes to create temporary trails, this once-in-a-lifetime experience is both thrilling and awe-inspiring.
Mountain Gorilla tracking is conducted in three African countries: Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Uganda and Rwanda, recognized as safe havens, offer the best trekking experiences. Unfortunately, the Democratic Republic of Congo faces safety concerns due to political insurgency and civil wars. Uganda boasts two National Parks for Mountain Gorilla trekking: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, while Rwanda has Volcanoes National Park.
The price of Uganda Gorilla Permits for Ugandan citizens is USD 300,000 per person per trek. For foreign non-residents, the cost is USD800, and for foreign residents, it remains USD800. The Gorilla Permit fees cover the entrance fee to the National Park, one Gorilla trekking permit, and guiding fees during your trek.
While Gorilla tracking can be undertaken throughout the year, the dry months of June, July, August, December, January, and February are considered optimal. During this period, the trails are dry and less slippery, providing trekkers with a more comfortable and enjoyable experience. These months also offer favorable weather conditions for photography.
The day begins with dressing appropriately in Gorilla trekking gear. Your guide will drive you to the briefing point after breakfast, where you will receive important information about the dos and don’ts. Equipped with a packed lunch and sufficient drinking water, you will then embark on your Gorilla walk into the forest, accompanied by National Park rangers. During the trek, the rangers will share insights about the forest, including information about plants, trees, insects, and bird species. Upon encountering these majestic apes, you will have one hour for viewing and photography before returning to the park offices. A graduation ceremony follows, where you will be awarded a certificate in recognition of your successful Gorilla tracking experience and your contribution to the conservation of these endangered Mountain Gorillas.
