Uganda and Rwanda Gorilla Safari


Baby mountain gorillas like this one are critical to saving and understanding more about this endangered species.

Sometimes, saying “I’ll never be the same again” is a good thing. Gorilla trekking  can be altogether life-changing. Little compares to the mystical combination of the rainforests of Uganda and Rwanda, up-close views of these endangered animals, and a unique understanding of the 740 mountain gorillas still make their homes in the primeval forests of central Africa. We’re sure you’ll never be the same after this remarkable experience.
