Practical information Uganda - Gorilla Tracking

Gorilla Tracking

According to The Ugandan Wildlife Authority, there is a 95% chance that you will come across the Gorillas on your trek. Your journey will be an exhilarating one: cutting your way through dense jungle, thick bamboo, past local homesteads and up forested hills.

Tracking times do vary and can be anything from a little as 30 minutes to 7 hours!
For this reason you have to be in good physical condition!

Your efforts will be rewarded with your first sighting of the Gorillas, as these gentle giants shyly approach you and you come face-to-face with one of nature's greatest animals.
