Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi with Kurikayo Africa Adventures a Journey into the Wild. There are few travel experiences in the world that compare to standing just a few feet away from a mountain gorilla in its natural habitat. Deep within the lush rainforest of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwestern Uganda, an unforgettable adventure awaits—gorilla trekking with Kurikayo Africa Adventures.
Why Bwindi?
Bwindi is one of the best places on earth to see endangered mountain gorillas. Home to nearly half of the world’s remaining population, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a rare opportunity to connect with nature in its most untouched form. The forest is dense, ancient, and alive with birdsong, rustling leaves, and the quiet presence of wild creatures.
What to Expect on a Gorilla Trek
Your journey begins early in the morning with a briefing at the park headquarters. Groups are limited to eight people per gorilla family to ensure minimal disruption. Accompanied by experienced guides and trackers, you’ll hike through dense vegetation, steep slopes, and muddy paths. The trek can take anywhere from 1 to 6 hours depending on the location of the gorillas.
Then comes the moment you’ve been waiting for. You’ll spend a magical hour observing a gorilla family—watching mothers care for their young, juveniles playfully swinging through trees, and the powerful silverback keeping a protective eye on his troop.
