Where to Trek Gorillas in Uganda

Uganda is home to two prime destinations for gorilla trekking, both located in the southwestern part of the country:

1. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
   • A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bwindi is home to over half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. The park has four main trekking sectors: Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo. Each sector offers unique experiences and habitats.
2. Mgahinga Gorilla National Park
   • Part of the Virunga Conservation Area, Mgahinga is smaller than Bwindi but equally spectacular. It is home to the Nyakagezi gorilla family, which is well-habituated for trekking.

Cost of Gorilla Trekking Permits

The cost of gorilla trekking permits in Uganda is set by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA):

• Foreign Non-Residents: $800 per person.
• Foreign Residents: $600 per person.
• East African Citizens: UGX 250,000 per person.

Permits are limited and in high demand, so early booking is essential to secure your spot, especially during peak seasons (June–September and December–February).

Gorilla Trekking Experience in Uganda

1. Preparation and Briefing
   Gorilla trekking begins with a briefing from UWA rangers at the trekking site. They provide information on safety, the gorilla family you’ll visit, and the trekking route.
2. The Trek
   Treks can last from 1 to 6 hours depending on the gorilla family’s location. The journey involves hiking through lush forests, steep terrains, and muddy trails, but the reward of encountering a gorilla family in their natural habitat is worth every step.
3. Encountering the Gorillas
