Tour Overview

For travellers with limited time, this express gorilla safari flies you directly to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for an unforgettable encounter with mountain gorillas. No long road transfers, just pure gorilla magic. Bwindi is home to approximately half of the world's remaining 1,063 mountain gorillas. Your trek through the ancient montane forest with experienced rangers leads to a habituated gorilla family, where you spend one precious hour observing silverbacks, playful juveniles, and tender mother-infant interactions just metres away.
