It involves hiking through the dense forests for searching of wild mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Gorilla trekking typically occurs in a few countries of the African continent such as Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, which are home to these endangered primates.

  2. Here is a brief of what you can expect from gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda: Permission for the gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda Before setting out on your trek, it is very important to make the necessary preparations. This includes having a trekking permit. You can purchase permits directly from the UWA (Uganda Wildlife Authority) headquarters. Directly purchasing is cost-effective but it includes daunting paperwork and navigating booking protocol. Nowadays, some tour operators offer gorilla trekking packages that include permits. This can be a convenient option as they handle the permit acquisition for you. Ababa Uganda Safaris offers all kinds of facilities including the best and most affordable stay at different locations during trekking. The Trek Itself On trek day, meet at Park HQ for a guide briefing. Generally, small groups of max 8 people are allowed at a time inside the forest to ensure minimal disruption. Then, follow your expert guides into the forest! Interacting with Gorillas That moment when a gorilla family will be in front of you in their natural habitat is truly magical. As per the forest guidelines, you can observe them up close, usually from a distance of about 7 meters for an hour. During that permitted one-hour period, you can observe their behaviours, interactions, and daily routines, and simultaneously can also document memories with photographs (without using flash).
