Gorilla Trekking in Uganda and Rwanda
Wildfriends Africa is based in Uganda. We specialize in mountain gorilla trekking trips in Uganda and Rwanda. Mountain gorillas are threatened with extinction. The only places on Earth where you can still see them in the wild are Uganda, Rwanda and Congo. Despite the fact that gorillas are threatened with extinction, the population in Uganda and Rwanda is doing very well. Many young have been born in recent years. A (mountain) gorilla trek is something you shouldn’t miss. It is a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience. About 90% of the people who come to Uganda and Rwanda include a gorilla trek in their itinerary. They are impressive animals. When you see them from just a few meters away, you realize how closely related we are; that is what makes a gorilla safari so special. You won’t be the first to shed a tear.

Where To Trek Mountain Gorillas?
Today, about 1,063 mountain gorillas live in the wild—an amazing recovery from the 1980s, when fewer than 300 remained. This success is thanks to hardworking conservation teams and tourists whose visits help fund protection.
Most mountain gorillas—around 604—live in the Virunga Massif, a chain of beautiful parks shared by Rwanda, the DR Congo, and Uganda’s Mgahinga National Park. The rest, about 459, are found in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, based on the 2018 census, with a new count that began in May 2025 still in progress.
