Gorillas in the Virungas & Bwindi

This safari will take you to three incredible gorilla parks – Parc National des Volcans (PNV) in Rwanda, and Nkuringo and Bwindi in Uganda. It offers an opportunity to track gorillas several times, twice in PNV and once in Bwindi. Seeing some of the remaining 700 mountain gorillas in their different habitats is a fantastic experience, with each park offering its unique attractions. PNV has four habituated gorilla families living in the afro-montane forests on the southern slopes of the Virungas volcanoes. Nkuringo, on the northern slopes, is often thought to be the prettiest part of the mountain and has one habituated family, which now spends virtually all year in the park, contrary to its previous behavior. In Bwindi, the three habituated families live in the thicker tropical forests and tracking is more challenging. In addition to gorilla tracking, each park offers a number of other activities.

**One gorilla permit, in PNV, is included in the land cost of this trip. Additional gorilla permits are $500 per permit. All gorilla permits are subject to availability at the time of booking.**
