“There are more than just Mountain gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable forest. It is very full and green, with canopy trees which give sheild to the undergrowth.

Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Going gorilla trekking in Bwindi is a fun way to learn about primates. You can spend an hour up close and personal with a family of these amazing animals in their beautiful, natural forest home. These trips go to a different part of the park every day, like Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo. You should be ready to pay $800 for permits if you want to travel in 2026.

The Gorilla Habituation Experience in Rushaga is a great way to get even closer to the gorillas. Only four people can be in each session of this special program. Scientists who know what they’re doing can watch them play with a group of gorillas for four hours. This immersive experience will cost $1,500 in 2026. It costs a lot of money, but it looks like it will be one of a kind.
