3-Day Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park 3 days / 2 nights 1–8 people In motion gorilla safaris

About This Tour

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to roughly half the world's remaining mountain gorillas. This 3-day expedition takes you deep into one of Africa's oldest rainforests for an intimate encounter with a habituated gorilla family.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Entebbe through Uganda's lush countryside, passing terraced hillsides and rural villages before arriving at your lodge on the edge of Bwindi. The following morning, park rangers brief you and lead your group (max 8 trekkers) into the forest. The trek can last 2–6 hours depending on the gorilla family's location.

Once you find the gorillas, you'll spend a magical hour observing silverbacks, playful juveniles, and nurturing mothers up close — an emotional, life-changing experience that directly supports conservation and local communities.
