Trek into misty forest and sit with a mountain gorilla family. One hour you will never forget.
Hike into a misty forest, hold your breath and then a silverback strolls past like he owns the place. Because he does. A gorilla trek is a quiet hour with a family that has been doing family better than most of us.
Treks run in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and last from one to six hours, so we match the family to your fitness. Porters and walking sticks are very welcome.
We pair gorillas with chimpanzees in Kibale, tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth and a hilltop lodge with a fire waiting at the end of the day.
If you only have time for one, this is the one our guests rave about long after they are home.
