A guided forest trek to visit one habituated mountain-gorilla family.
About this activity
Visitors trek with Uganda Wildlife Authority guides and trackers from one of
Bwindi’s four sectors. The walk can take several hours over steep, muddy forest trails; time with the gorillas is limited under conservation rules.
Highlights
- Small guided trekking group
- One hour with the assigned gorilla family
- Four sectors: Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo
Best time to participate
Trekking operates year-round. Drier periods can mean easier footing, but rain is possible in the forest in any season.
Planning notes
A UWA permit must be secured for the correct sector and date; confirm age and health rules, fitness expectations, transport, and permit inclusion before payment. Follow ranger instructions and maintain the required wildlife distance.
