Uganda - The Pearl of Africa
Catching rare eye contact with a mountain gorilla in the wild is one of the top wildlife experiences in the world.
Did you know there are only a limited number of visa’s available to see the gorillas per year? Gorilla trekking requires specialist, local knowledge to make your trip smooth and safe.
Trek up steep slopes, through waist-high foliage and tunnel through densely tangled vines in the Unesco Heritage-listed Bwindi National Park, to observe these critically endangered animals in their natural habitat. True wildlife watching in the raw.
It really is an adventure very few people in the world will experience, making it a trip of a lifetime.
