Where to Encounter Mountain Gorillas in Africa?

Uganda boasts two national parks offering the chance to trek mountain gorillas. The renowned Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, located in southwestern Uganda, is home to 18 gorilla families available for tourism. Ugandan gorilla permits for this captivating experience are priced at USD800 per permit. Mgahinga, a smaller national park bordering DR Congo and Rwanda, features one gorilla family available for tourism.

Rwanda – Volcanoes National Park:

Situated north of the main capital Kigali, Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park stands as the premier destination in Africa for trekking mountain gorillas. Gorilla permits for this extraordinary experience are available at USD 1500 per permit.

DR Congo – Virunga National Park:

Despite the challenges posed by political instabilities in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Virunga National Park remains a potential destination.
