Uganda Gorillas


Vibrant Holiday Safaris brings you the gorilla experience in Uganda. Uganda is one of the few countries in the world where you can have the incredible experience of trekking to see the critically endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. This once-in-a-lifetime experience is a truly unforgettable adventure that will stay with you forever.

The gorillas are found in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which is located in southwestern Uganda. This park is home to more than half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population, making it one of the best places in the world to see these magnificent creatures up close.

To visit the gorillas in Uganda, you’ll need to obtain a permit in advance from the Uganda Wildlife Authority. The permits are limited to a maximum of eight people per gorilla family per day, and they are highly sought after, so it’s essential to book well in advance.

On the day of your trek, a guide will take you through the forest to trek the gorillas. The trek can be challenging, but it’s definitely worth the effort. Once you reach the gorillas, you will use one hour to observe them in their natural habitat. You will also spot their behaviours, watch them feed, and interact with one another.

Other Activities to do in Uganda

Apart from gorilla trekking, Uganda has a lot more to offer for travelers. You can go on a safari in one of the many national parks in the country.
