Uganda · GORILLA TREKKING SAFARIS

The 15 Best Gorilla Trekking Safaris in Uganda

58 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 5.0 average  ·  from $450

The permit is the expensive part and the drive is the long part, so the trip you pick decides most of the week. These 15 cover Bwindi and Mgahinga, the fly-in shortcuts and the overland circuits, with what each costs, whether the permit is included, and which sector you actually start from.
