Overview

Bwindi's gorilla trekking permit is one of the most sought-after in Africa — and for good reason. After a dawn briefing, you'll climb into the mist to find a habituated family and spend one unforgettable hour in their company. The rest of the trip unwinds in the forest's bird-rich valleys and village communities.
