All you need to know about Gorilla & Primate Trekking with Wild Nature Safaris Uganda
Uganda is home to some of the world’s most extraordinary primate encounters. Trekking mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Mgahinga National Park, and tracking chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, Budongo, or Kyambura Gorge, are once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
These treks are carefully regulated by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) to protect the primates and their habitats. Visitors must hold valid permits, trek with professional guides, and follow strict conservation rules.
Wild Nature Safaris Uganda offers a complete trekking service, from securing permits, arranging transport, booking lodges, and providing expert guides, to ensuring clients enjoy a safe, seamless, and unforgettable adventure.
