Notes:
It is estimated that only 650 mountain gorillas remain in the world. They are found in only 3 countries and Uganda is estimated to have at least one third of the population.
Gorilla trekking can be arduous, trekking through thick forest, up steep slopes and down through valleys. Your trek can be long or short depending on where the gorillas have moved during the night.
Once located, most stays with the gorillas last about an hour before the return trek to the camp. Permits are limited and advance booking is highly recommended. If you plan to include gorilla trekking in a pan African holiday we recommend planning the Uganda portion first.
