5 Days / 4 Nights Uganda Gorilla & Wildlife Adventure

Wear long trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy waterproof hiking boots with ankle support, gardening gloves for gripping branches, a rain jacket, and gaiters to protect against nettles and ants. Bring a daypack with water, snacks, and your camera.

The dry seasons (June–September and December–February) offer easier trekking conditions with drier trails. However, gorilla trekking is possible year-round. The wet season (March–May, October–November) has fewer tourists and lower lodge rates.

Uganda is generally safe for tourists visiting the main safari circuits and gorilla trekking areas. Our tours operate in well-managed national parks with experienced guides. Kampala and other towns require normal urban precautions.

Gorilla trekking involves hiking through dense tropical forest at altitude (1,500–2,600m). Treks range from 1–6 hours depending on gorilla location. Moderate fitness is recommended — you should be comfortable walking on uneven terrain. Porters are available to carry your pack and assist you.

You will be within 7 metres of a habituated gorilla family. The one-hour encounter allows incredible observation and photography opportunities. Gorillas are generally calm and curious about visitors. Your ranger guide ensures both your safety and the gorillas' wellbeing.

The minimum age for gorilla trekking is 15 years old in both Uganda and Rwanda. This is a strict conservation rule that cannot be waived. Children under 15 can enjoy other wildlife activities like chimpanzee habituation or nature walks.
