Adventure Gorilla Safaris
Tailor-Made Safaris in Uganda, Rwanda & DR Congo
Adventure Gorilla Safaris specialises in tailor-made gorilla trekking safaris across Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, Uganda’s Bwindi Forest and Mgahinga National Park, and DR Congo. We offer both scheduled group departures and fully Private Safaris, including short one-day gorilla treks and multi-country safari packages to suit every traveller’s budget and interests. Beyond gorilla trekking, we curate luxury safaris, and immersive wildlife experiences rooted in sustainable, responsible tourism. Partnering closely with national park authorities, local communities, and conservation organisations, we ensure every safari contributes to protecting mountain gorillas and their habitat—making your trip both an unforgettable adventure and a meaningful conservation effort.
Book Your Gorilla Safari with Us
Since 2019, Adventure Gorilla Safaris has been putting together gorilla trekking trips that stay with people long after they’ve gone home. Our reservation team works closely with you to build the itinerary that fits you — maybe that’s a tight three-day gorilla trek in Uganda or Rwanda, or maybe it’s a three-week journey across East Africa that brings together gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, big-game safaris, and time spent with local communities and cultures. We take care of the logistics — your gorilla permit, where you’ll stay, getting you from the airport, and moving between destinations — so all you really need to do is show up and let Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife encounter do the rest.

1 Day, Volcanoes National Park – Rwanda Gorilla Trekking.

By 7 am, you’re briefed, grouped into teams of up to eight, and assigned a gorilla family, with dancing and coffee beforehand. Trekking runs 8 am to early afternoon — 30 minutes to 4+ hours through farmland, bamboo, and forest at 2,500–4,500m (porters available). Once found, you get one hour with silverbacks, mothers, and juveniles, regardless of hike length. After descending, enjoy a hot lunch in Musanze, then drive back to Kigali, arriving early evening.
Mountain Gorillas: The Most Fascinating Primate in the World – Adventure Safaris
Few wildlife encounters rival meeting mountain gorillas in the wild face-to-face. Listed as Endangered by the IUCN, with just over 1,000 individuals left, they survive mainly in the forests of Uganda, Rwanda, and the DRC—making every sighting a rare privilege.
Sharing about 98% of human DNA, mountain gorillas display strikingly human-like behavior: mothers cradling infants, silverbacks leading with quiet authority, and juveniles playing through the undergrowth. Spending even an hour with a habituated gorilla family is humbling and unforgettable—which is why we design trekking packages built around these encounters. A typical family numbers 15–30 members, led by a dominant silverback—identifiable by his grey-saddled back—who protects and guides the group. Females, blackbacks, juveniles, and infants complete the family, revealing social dynamics of grooming, play, and communication remarkably similar to our own.

Where We Take You: Gorilla Trekking Destinations
The mountain gorilla exists in only three countries in the world. Adventure Gorilla Safaris operates expert-guided treks across all three destinations, each offering its own distinct character and landscape. Adventure Gorilla Safaris — Premier Private & Luxury Gorilla Trekking and African Safari Specialists.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is Uganda’s crown jewel for gorilla trekking adventures and one of the most biodiverse forests on the planet. Bwindi is home to about half of the world’s total mountain gorilla population. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 26 habituated gorilla families in 4 trekking sectors: Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga and Nkuringo. Every sector has its own unique trekking experience and scenery ranging from misty highland ridges to deep-valley forest floors, so no two gorilla treks in Bwindi are ever the same. The park is also a paradise for birdwatchers, with more than 350 species of birds, including 23 Albertine Rift endemics.
Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park is arguably Africa’s most famous destination for gorilla trekking. It was here that the late primatologist Dian Fossey conducted her legendary research and founded the Karisoke Research Centre, immortalised in the film Gorillas in the Mist. The park’s manicured bamboo forests, open meadows and misty volcanic slopes provide a wonderfully atmospheric setting for gorilla encounters. Rwanda has invested heavily in top-end ecotourism infrastructure, and the park is surrounded by an impressive array of luxury lodges and conservation projects. Volcanoes National Park also provides golden monkey tracking, the Dian Fossey tomb hike and volcano summit treks on Mount Bisoke, in addition to gorilla trekking.
Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Uganda
Nestled in the extreme south-western corner of Uganda, where the borders of Uganda, Rwanda, and the DRC converge, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is Uganda’s smallest national park but arguably one of its most dramatic. The park sits at the foot of three imposing Virunga volcanoes — Mount Muhabura, Mount Gahinga, and Mount Sabyinyo — and forms part of the larger transboundary Virunga Conservation Area. In addition to gorilla trekking, Mgahinga is the only place in Uganda where you can track habituated golden monkeys, a rare and strikingly beautiful primate found only in the Virunga Mountains.
Virunga National Park, DRC.
For the truly adventurous traveller, Virunga National Park in the DRC offers one of the most raw and extraordinary gorilla trekking experiences in the world. Africa’s oldest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Virunga is home to habituated gorilla families as well as the active Nyiragongo volcano, whose lava lake can be reached by trekkers on a challenging overnight hike. Adventure Gorilla Safaris can organise security-assessed gorilla treks in Virunga for clients who wish to experience this remarkable and frontier destination.
Beyond Gorilla Trekking – Explore Our Complete Range of Safaris
A gorilla safari with Adventure Gorilla Safaris need not begin and end in the forest. We excel at combining gorilla trekking with the full breadth of East Africa’s extraordinary wildlife and cultural offerings, creating multi-destination safari itineraries that showcase the best of the region.
Chimpanzee Trekking Uganda is Africa’s primate capital, and Kibale National Park boasts the continent’s highest primate density, making it the premier chimpanzee trekking destination. Tracking chimps through Kibale’s tropical forest, hearing their calls echo through the canopy, rivals even gorilla encounters in intensity. We also offer trekking in Budongo Forest, Kyambura Gorge, and Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda.
Big-Game Wildlife Safaris Combine gorilla trekking with classic savannah safaris. Murchison Falls National Park offers lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, and the thundering Nile gorge. Queen Elizabeth National Park is famed for tree-climbing lions. We also arrange extensions to Kenya’s Masai Mara (Great Migration) and Tanzania’s Serengeti, plus sightings of Africa’s Big Five across these parks.
Cultural Experiences We connect travellers with communities bordering the parks, including the Batwa Pygmies of Bwindi and Mgahinga, and Rwanda’s Iby’iwacu Cultural Village, where former poachers now champion conservation.
Other Activities
Our safari portfolio also includes world-class birdwatching tours (Uganda alone hosts over 1,060 bird species, making it one of the top birding destinations on the planet), white-water rafting at the source of the River Nile in Jinja, boat cruises on Kazinga Channel and Lake Victoria, volcano hiking in the Virunga massif, nature walks in Semuliki National Park, and mountain climbing on the Rwenzori Mountains, known romantically as the Mountains of the Moon.
Protect Our Earth: Keep It Clean and Green
Exceptional Safaris, designed to your needs, preferences and budget.
With experience in all these trip activities, we create extended tours that combine gorilla trekking with various other wildlife safari experiences. It is recommended to take those longer itineraries so that you have more time for exploration and other activities. Trip lengths range from five (5) days to 30+ days. For a wider African adventure than one gorilla tour, see our sample safari itineraries. Choose the one that fits you, or chat to one of our expert team for tailored advice and itinerary planning.
