Mountain gorillas exist nowhere else on Earth. The entire global population — just over 1,000 individuals — lives in a narrow chain of ancient montane forests straddling three countries. We have spent years building the knowledge, relationships, and logistics to give you the most seamless, most breathtaking access to these magnificent animals.
Every gorilla destination offers a different landscape, a different atmosphere, and a different price point — but the same extraordinary encounter.

We have spent over a decade doing one thing: getting travellers face-to-face with mountain gorillas as safely, smoothly, and memorably as possible.
We secure your gorilla trekking permits through official UWA and Rwanda Development Board channels the moment you confirm — no permit, no charge, ever.
Our guides are Uganda Wildlife Authority-certified, born and raised near the parks, and have spent years learning the behaviour and ranges of each gorilla family.
No shared minibuses. Every client gets a dedicated vehicle and driver-guide — so your safari runs on your schedule, at your pace.
We partner only with lodges and camps we have personally vetted — from eco-friendly budget bandas within park boundaries to award-winning luxury forest retreats.
Every booking funds ranger salaries, anti-poaching patrols, and community projects around the parks. We take low-impact trekking protocols seriously.
Our team is reachable around the clock throughout your safari. If anything changes — weather, gorilla movement, logistics — we handle it instantly.
From first enquiry to your gorilla encounter — here is exactly how Africa Gorilla Trekking Safaris makes it happen.
Fill in our enquiry form or email us. Share your dates, budget, preferred destination, and any special requirements. We respond within 24 hours.
We craft a tailored day-by-day safari itinerary including gorilla trekking, lodges, transfers, and optional add-ons — at no obligation to book.
Once you confirm, we secure your gorilla permits immediately through official channels and lock in your lodge reservations with a deposit.
Your driver-guide meets you at the airport. We handle every detail from arrival to departure — so you focus entirely on the experience.
Standing two metres from a silverback gorilla — with his family playing around him — was the most profound moment of my life. Africa Gorilla Trekking Safaris made it completely seamless. Every detail was perfect.
We combined Bwindi with Queen Elizabeth National Park and it was the best two weeks of our lives. Our guide David was extraordinary — he knew every gorilla family by name. Worth every penny.
The gorilla habituation experience — four hours with the family — was indescribable. I saw a baby gorilla learn to climb a tree. I am still processing it two months later. Book it.
Permits, packing lists, best times, destination comparisons — everything you need to plan the perfect gorilla safari.
