About Gorillatrekking.co

Gorilla Trekking Deserves Its Own Home

A dedicated home for one extraordinary experience, because gorilla trekking is more than just another safari.

Our story

Built for One Extraordinary Experience

Gorillatrekking.co was built for one reason: gorilla trekking deserves a home that isn’t buried inside a hundred other safari offerings.

We’re a specialist brand under Raja Safari Holidays, and we got tired of watching this experience get treated as a side note.

“Built by people who’ve spent years arranging trips into Bwindi and Volcanoes National Park.”

Our promise

Safely, Respectfully and Without the Guesswork

No generic safari packages. No distractions. Just gorillas.

Every page on this site exists to answer one question well: how do you get face-to-face with a mountain gorilla, safely, respectfully, and without the guesswork?

A more thoughtful approach

Availability Is Only Part of the Decision

We’ve walked these trails enough times to tell you honestly which trek suits your fitness level, not just which one has availability.

That matters, because a bad match between traveler and terrain is the single biggest reason treks go wrong.

We Take Care of What Happens Behind the Scenes

Thoughtful planning for the parts that quietly ruin trips when left to chance.

Permit Timing

Getting your permit date right for the trek you want.

Park Transfers

Transfers between parks, arranged so you don’t have to.

Weather-Aware Scheduling

Trek scheduling that takes the weather into account.

Contingency Planning

A plan in place if a gorilla family moves further than expected.

A shared responsibility

Protecting the Gorillas and Their Home

Mountain gorillas exist today because tourism revenue funds their protection; permit fees go directly into conservation, anti-poaching patrols, and the communities living alongside the parks. But that only works if trekking is done right.

Responsible trekking isn’t a marketing line for us; it’s the only way this experience survives for the next generation of travelers.

Respectful Distances

We hold every trek to the distance limits that keep gorillas safe.

Small Trekking Groups

Group size caps protect the gorillas and keep each encounter calm.

Health Protection

No trekking while sick, because gorillas are highly susceptible to human disease.

Responsible Photography

No flash photography, because flash disturbs the gorillas.

People and places

Tourism That Benefits Local Communities

We work with community-run lodges and guides wherever possible, so the economic benefit of your visit reaches the people actually sharing land with these gorillas, not just a distant operator.

Part of the Raja Safari Holidays Family

Gorillatrekking.co is part of the Raja Safari Holidays family, a licensed tour operator based in Kampala with years of experience running safaris across Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Kenya.

Raja Safari built its name on East African wildlife trips beyond gorillas too, and this site is where that same operational depth is pointed squarely at one thing: getting you safely, comfortably, and unforgettably close to the gorillas.
