GORILLA TREKKING • RWANDA & UGANDA
Gorilla trekking safaris,
designed around you.

we create private journeys shaped around how you want to travel.
Rwanda or Uganda?
Both countries offer life-changing gorilla encounters, yet each has its own character.
Here’s a quick guide to help you decide which might be right for you.
Rwanda
Volcanoes National Park is just a few hours from Kigali, making Rwanda ideal for a more compact gorilla safari or an easy addition to a wider African journey.
EXPLORE RWANDA →Uganda
From the misty forests of Bwindi to chimpanzee trekking and traditional safari, Uganda offers a wonderfully varied journey through some of East Africa’s most beautiful landscapes.
EXPLORE UGANDA →From the moment we arrived in Rwanda until we flew home, every detail was perfect. Amanda and her team created a trip we will never forget.
