Overview

When you walk a few metres with a gorilla family deep in the heart of the mountains of Bwindi Impenetrable forest, you may feel closer to the earth, perhaps even to its pulse. An encounter with such a powerful, yet gentle animal will leave you with a new appreciation for the beauty and strength of your natural world. That experience is only possible by visiting one of the highly effective, cost-conscious gorilla reserves practically all over the world. The mountain gorilla silverback’s stare penetrates right into you with such intensity that you get concerned for your safety (but not really, he’s as gentle as can be).

FAQs

Gorilla tracking takes a few hours, however since it is a physical activity allowance must be given to rest before and after tracking.

Humans are allowed a safe distance of up to 7 meters to protect and prevent spreading diseases from humans to the gorillas.

If a gorilla comes closer to you just stay calm and he will pass by. They are habituated and are used to human presence and less likely to harm you.

Three countries are home to mountain gorillas; Uganda, Rwanda and DRC. Uganda is home to half of world's population of mountain gorillas and gorilla permits in Uganda are half the price of Rwanda's. Though prices in DRC are the lowest, there are security concerns.
