Rwanda & Uganda Gorilla Treks & Tracking

Whether you join us for our 4(opens in a new tab) or 5-Day Gorilla, Wildlife, & Chimpanzee Trekking in Kalinzu Forest(opens in a new tab), or our 3-Day Gorilla Trek(opens in a new tab), Uganda will enchant you. As you venture through the rainforest tracking mountain gorillas or chimpanzees, you will understand why it is known as the “Pearl of Africa”. The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to half the world’s population of mountain gorillas, making it the ultimate destination for those looking to see these impressive animals in the wild. Bamboo Ecotours can also arrange gorilla trekking permits for clients interested in securing permits only. We are well known for our consistency and efficiency in obtaining gorilla permits.
