Meet the Mountain Gorillas

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the Albertine Rift of southwestern Uganda — home to almost half of the world's remaining mountain gorilla population, estimated at just over 1,000 individuals.

This carefully crafted 3-day experience takes you deep into one of Africa's most ancient and biodiverse rainforests, guided by experienced trackers and Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. There is no other wildlife encounter quite like coming face-to-face with a silverback gorilla in his natural habitat.

All gorilla permits are arranged by Levine Adventures in advance. The package includes accommodation, meals, park entry, a professional guide, and all ground transfers from Kampala.

This is the day you've been waiting for. After an early breakfast, transfer to park headquarters for a pre-trek briefing. You'll be assigned to a gorilla family group and begin trekking into the forest. The trek can take 1–6 hours depending on where the gorillas are ranging. Once found, you have one full hour with the family — observe, photograph and simply breathe in this extraordinary moment. Return to lodge for a well-earned dinner. Overnight at lodge.
