Why Go on a Gorilla Trekking Expedition?

Travel with Purpose

Thanks to the income earned from gorilla trekking tourism, populations are slowly on the increase and scouts, who once may have been poachers of gorillas and other primates, are now their protectors and earn their livelihoods safeguarding what they once killed.

Superb, Year-round Game Viewing

Despite some camps being situated in remote wilderness locations, they still offer superb amenities like private plunge pools, spas and gyms. Accommodation ranges from comfortable safari lodges to relaxed tented camps - enough to suit all tastes, budgets and trip types.

Convenient Add-Ons

Regular flights and accessibility make it easy to combine your gorilla trekking with a Great Migration safari in East Africa or a beach getaway in Zanzibar. If you’re coming all the way, you might as well experience everything that has Africa to offer!

Why Go on a Gorilla Trekking Expedition? 

Incredible game-viewing

See the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo) and more wildlife found only in Africa, with expert guides who'll get you so 
close you can hear them breathe.

Walking safaris, hot air balloon safaris, cultural interactions with
local people- all safari activities support conservation and communities. The ultimate win-win.

Rewarding experiences

The luxury of time

Enjoy being off-the-grid and truly away from it all with private plunge pools and spa facilities at intimate lodges in some of the most remote parts of the world.

Indulge your senses

Sip sundowners as giraffes stroll across the hot pink horizon, and sample gourmet African dishes and wines over fireside dinners while the sounds of the bush serenades you.

Two trips in one

The best trips combine Africa's top destinations. Easily go from the African bush to buzzy Cape Town or an idyllic Indian Ocean island- with all the details and transfers taken care of.

Why you need to experience an African safari vacation:

"...I thought this was a once in a lifetime trip, 
but I'm already 
planning my next safari!" 

Gorilla

Trekking

Gorilla trekking offers one of Africa’s most profound wildlife encounters – their populations, even in protected reserves, are counted in hundreds rather than thousands. So rare are gorillas, that trackers are able to give them individual names and identify their faces and personalities easily.

Rwanda

Africa's easiest and most accessible gorilla trekking is the main draw card of a Rwandan safari. After arriving at the capital city of Kigali, you are only a few hours' drive away from the legendary Volcanoes National Park and its habituated but still wild gorilla families. It was on the bamboo-covered slopes of Rwanda’s Virunga Volcanoes that the late Dian Fossey studied the behaviour of the endangered mountain gorilla for 20 years, followed by the filmmakers who shot Gorillas in the Mist.

Highlights

  • Tailor-made safaris for couples, honeymooners, families, and adventure seekers
  • Massage treatments to refresh after hikes
  • Immersive gorilla conservation experiences with the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund at the Ellen DeGeneres Campus
  • Experience Kwita Izina, the gorilla-naming ceremony (June only)

Congo

Samburu is an arrestingly beautiful, rocky landscape that heralds Kenya’s vast northern deserts. It’s the traditional homeland of the Samburu people and a haven for the unique Special 5: Beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, long-neck gerenuk and Somali ostrich.

  • Incredibly scenic landscapes
  • Luxurious tented camps and lodges

Highlights

  • Spotting the unusual Samburu Special 5
  • Unique activities like game viewing by camelback

Serengeti

Tanzania

January–March & June–October 

Dry Season: 

The weather is usually mild and dry from January to March, and most of the safari crowds are absent. June to October is safari’s high season; the Serengeti is busy, but weather conditions are perfect and the Wildebeest Migration’s dramatic river crossings take place. Although the sheer size of the Serengeti will give you a soul-stirring sense of space, the areas around the Migration’s river crossing points can get busy. If you want to be close to the action yet enjoy some serenity, we suggest staying in an adjacent private reserve.

Green Season:

November–December

The ‘short rains’ season relieves the dry mid-year winter. Clouds build up in the mornings and break in spectacular, but generally short-lived, showers in the late afternoons. Migrant birds return from the northern hemisphere and resident plains game give birth, which means the predator action is thrilling.

Migration Season:

December–September

The herds usually cross the Grumeti River in the western Serengeti between about May and July, then move towards the Mara River in the north to cross into the Masai Mara between about July to October. November's short rains trigger the herds 
to move back to the Serengeti to give birth before calving season, which takes place from January to March and is renowned for bitter-sweet predator action.

Highlights

  • Crowd-free game viewing, nature walks and off-road game drives in private game reserves
  • Custom-made safaris for every traveller type – from families and honeymooners
  • Incredible year-round game viewing, especially predators
  • The Great Wildebeest Migration (December to October)

Consider Adding … 

Kenya

Experience a safari vacation in Kenya, the place where safari travel originated. The best Kenya tours and safaris include Big 5 game viewing, incredible natural beauty, and cultural encounters, often combining Kenya’s top attractions with Tanzania and the tropical beaches of the Kenyan coast.

Tanzania

Safari happens almost everywhere you look in Tanzania. It’s been a way of life in East Africa’s second-largest country for decades. From the classic savannah destinations of the Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater to the beaches and coral reefs of Zanzibar, a Tanzania safari delivers one massive experience after another.

Zanzibar

The name alone is likely to conjure up images of spice markets, palm-fringed beaches and white-sailed dhows on a turquoise sea – and happily the reality doesn’t disappoint. Lying only a short distance off the Tanzania coast but at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East and Asia, Zanzibar has long been at the centre of the Indian Ocean experience in East Africa.

The Kruger

South Africa’s biggest and best-known national park is home to the country's greatest diversity of animals and exquisite safari lodges on private game reserves. As one of the oldest conservation areas in Africa, it boasts healthy populations of wildlife and highly sought-after sightings of cheetah and wild dog. But the Kruger’s pièce de résistance is the almost guaranteed encounter with the super-celebrities of the safari circuit: Africa’s iconic Big 5.

Dry Season: 

May–Oct

The dry winter season is considered the best time to go to Kruger for game viewing. Vegetation is low and sparse, making animals easier to spot and follow, and wildlife will not move far from remaining water sources at this time of year. It’s a very comfortable time for a safari with few mosquitoes around, little if any rain, and pleasant temperatures.

  • High concentrations of wildlife
  • Off-road driving, spot-lit night drives and guided nature walks in private reserves

Highlights

  • Luxurious lodges with spas, gyms, private pools and star-beds
  • 5-star service and exquisite cuisine – some of the best safari food in Africa
  • Virtual guarantee to see all the Big 5

Green Season:

Nov–Apr 

The summer’s afternoon thundershowers transform the Kruger into a beautiful, thriving green landscape that makes for superb photography. Game viewing is still good – with many young summer-born animals around it's a predator's paradise – and it's the best time to visit the Kruger for bird watching plus safari-and-beach holiday combinations.

Uganda

If you've ever wanted to sit with mountain gorillas in their natural rainforest habitat then a Uganda safari will deliver on your expectations. Boasting a 90% success rate at finding habituated gorilla family groups in the extraordinary Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, gorilla trekking in Uganda has become one of Africa's most powerful wildlife experiences - and gorilla populations are increasing.

Highlights

  • Seek out gorillas in the famed Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
  • Guided rainforest walks, or cultural activities such as community visits of the Batwa people
  • Gorilla trekking is perfectly paired with an East African big-game safari
  • Photograph endemic birds, butterflies & orchids

Congo

Changing the face of African travel, the Republic of the Congo (also known as Congo-Brazzaville) has opened up Africa’s equatorial rainforests to travellers, which are now more accessible than ever before. The rainforests of the Congo Basin are sometimes referred to as the second lung of the world - home to western lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, forest elephant, buffalo and roughly 100 other mammal species.

Highlights

  • Unique forest wildlife and prolific birdwatching
  • Gorilla trekking plus water-based activities & nature walks
  • Expert local guides and wildlife specialists
  • The capital of Brazzaville is the ‘Little Paris of Africa’ and has lively fabric markets and colourful architecture

Adventurer Uganda’s Fly-In Gorilla Trek

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Accessible fly-in location
  • Accommodation in a private concession
  • Gorilla-trekking safari
  • Batwa community experience

THE EXPERIENCE:

This bucket-list experience takes you deep into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for an eye-opening encounter with highly endangered mountain gorillas.

Home to roughly 340 mountain gorillas, the park is one of the two remaining protected sites where this subspecies of great ape exists in the wild.

Some of the family groups are habituated to human presence and will allow trekkers to track and observe them from a respectful and mandated distance as they go about their daily lives. Back at your accommodation, which is the tranquil Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp, keep an eye open for gorillas strolling right through the camp!

Go2Africa was the perfect choice... We worked with Nicole from beginning to the end and she were so helpful in creating the perfect itinerary for us. From flights, to accommodations, to transfers, and tour guides, everything was perfect...Nicole was able to work within our budget and on all of our
wants/needs.

Honeymoon of a lifetime!

This is our 3rd safari booked with Go2Africa and I'm always amazed at the personal attention to detail that goes into planning. We gave Jessica a general area we wanted to visit and a wildlife wish list of animals we wanted to see…It was unbelievable. Once again, Jessica did such an amazing job with selecting the camps that were perfect for us…

Knocked it out of the park again!

The family had an experience that exceeded our expectations. At each critical change point of the journey (flights, transport, accommodation) the arrangements played out perfectly. The experiences at each location were perfect and we took home so many memories and things to share. Thank you! Job well done.
