About Us

A Team That Grew Up Near These Forests

Our Story

Gorilla Trek Safaris was started by a family with roots in the villages bordering Bwindi and Volcanoes National Park. After years of guiding trips for other companies, we set out to run trips our own way, with fewer travelers per group, more time built into each day, and a direct relationship between the traveler and the guide.

Today we plan and lead gorilla trekking trips across Rwanda and Uganda, working with a small circle of driver guides, lodges, and park rangers we have known for years.

Our Approach

We keep groups small, plan around the gorillas' pace rather than a fixed schedule, and put a portion of every booking back into park conservation and the communities living along the park boundary.

Why Travel With Us

Four Things We Take Seriously

Local Expertise

Our guides are licensed, local, and know the parks, the ranger teams, and the gorilla families personally. That knowledge shapes every itinerary we build.

Fully Customized Trips

No two groups travel exactly the same way. We adjust duration, lodge tier, and number of permits to match your dates and budget.

Ethical, Sustainable Travel

We support anti poaching initiatives, work with fair trade local businesses, and offer low impact travel options wherever we can.

Stress Free Planning

From your first message to your ride home, we handle permits, transport, lodging, and last minute changes so you do not have to.
