Uganda offers gorilla trekking in two national parks: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, which is home to the largest population of mountain gorillas, and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, located in the Virunga Volcanoes region. Both destinations provide an authentic trekking experience, though Bwindi has more habituated gorilla families to track.

Gorilla trekking is possible year-round, but the dry seasons from June to September and December to February are the most popular. During these months, the forest trails are less slippery, making treks easier. The wet seasons, however, tend to have fewer crowds and greener scenery, which many photographers love.
The difficulty of gorilla trekking depends on the gorilla family you are assigned to track. Some hikes take just an hour, while others may last 4–6 hours through steep and forested terrain. A moderate level of fitness is recommended, and porters are always available to help carry your bag and support you on the trek.
To protect the gorillas and minimize stress, only 8 visitors are allowed to track a gorilla family per day. Once you find them, you are given one magical hour to observe and photograph them as they interact in their natural habitat.
Yes, absolutely. Most travelers combine gorilla trekking with chimpanzee tracking in Kibale, game drives in Queen Elizabeth or Murchison Falls National Parks, or even cross-border safaris to Rwanda and Congo. This gives you a richer experience of East Africa’s wildlife, culture, and landscapes.
Essential items include sturdy hiking boots, a waterproof jacket, long-sleeved shirts and pants, gardening gloves for gripping vegetation, insect repellent, and a camera with extra batteries. A walking stick is usually provided at the park, and hiring a porter is highly recommended for both support and community benefit.
