3 Day Bwindi Gorilla Trekking

A focused trip built around a single gorilla trekking permit in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

3 Day Bwindi Gorilla Trekking

Tour Overview

This is the most direct way to trek mountain gorillas in Uganda - one permit, one trek, with travel days either side. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest holds roughly half of the world's remaining mountain gorilla population, spread across several habituated family groups.

Safari Highlights

  • One hour with a habituated mountain gorilla family

  • Bwindi's dense, biodiverse forest setting

  • Small group sizes (permits limit visitors per gorilla family per day)

  • A genuinely rare wildlife experience

Best Time to Visit

Bwindi can be visited year-round since trekking happens regardless of season, though the two drier windows (June-August and December-February) mean less mud on the trekking trails. Wetter months still offer good trekking - the terrain is simply more demanding underfoot.
