Through our dedicated conservation programs, local guide training, and eco-initiatives, every safari directly contributes to sustainable tourism and community development across East Africa.
Trek Surrounded by Mountain Gorillas
It's not a new update that only a few hundred mountain gorillas remain on Earth up to now. Meeting these almost human like in genes is one of the most exciting and unique experiences you can ever have.
In the misty rainforests of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park and Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, you’ll trek for 1 to 6 hours to see these amazing primates up close.
Your mountain gorilla trekking safari will be about more than this lovely experience. You’ll meet the local communities who love to call this land home through exciting cultural experiences and contribute to gorilla conservation via your trekking permit.
