It is a carefully controlled and permitted activity that provides a unique and respectful animal experience. It entails getting permits and adhering to set criteria. It offers a rare opportunity to observe Africa’s big apes up close and enjoy their behavior, social relationships, and stunning beauty.

Gorilla trekking is most usually linked with countries in East and Central Africa, where the two gorilla species, mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) and eastern lowland gorillas (Gorilla beringei graueri), live. Rwanda, Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are well-known for offering thrilling gorilla trekking experiences.
