Roam with Africa’s endangered mountain gorillas
Gorilla trekking safaris offer a unique and awe-inspiring African safari experience, allowing you to observe magnificent mountain gorillas in their natural habitat as they engage in their daily activities.

Our team at True Vine Safari is dedicated to taking care of every aspect of your gorilla trekking safari, including navigating remote locations with ease. Moreover, by booking through us, you will also contribute to the conservation and protection of these unique primates. This highly anticipated experience is definitely worth adding to your bucket list, and True Vine Safari is the perfect partner to make it happen.
Where to go
Gorilla trekking is a unique opportunity afforded to tourists seeking to explore the serene and unspoiled landscapes of the Albertine Rift montane forests. Visitors may choose from a select few locations dotted across six East African countries. These include the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda and the Virunga National Park located in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Mountain Gorillas, an endangered species, have made their habitat in these dense and shadowy forests; a truly magnificent sight to behold. Trekking to see them is a challenging yet rewarding experience that provides a glimpse into the unique and mysterious world of these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
Rwanda
Visit Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park for a chance to see mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. The conservation efforts have led to a gradual increase in the endangered species, making treks to the ten gorilla groups more accessible to a wider range of ages and fitness levels compared to Uganda. With limited permits per day, book in advance for an unforgettable adventure.
Uganda
Visit Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to witness the Virunga gorillas, with over 50% of the remaining population in the region. The trek is for the fit and adventurous, taking 3-9 hours with steep inclines. You may also encounter other primates, birds, and rare mammals on foot. Only 88 permits are issued daily, so book early, especially during peak season.
