Uganda Gorilla Trekking
Plan gorilla trekking around your permit, route, and travel style.
Augur helps you bring together Bwindi or Mgahinga permits, accommodation, road or flight planning, private transport, and the rest of your Uganda safari in one clear plan.
Quote-based planning — final cost depends on permit availability, travel dates, group size, route, vehicle, and lodge level.
Quick Planning
Start with the choices that shape the whole trip.
A practical gorilla itinerary depends on more than the trekking day. Travel time, permit availability, lodge location, and your arrival or departure point all matter.
- First-time gorilla trekking
- Honeymoon and private journeys
- Families and small groups
- Uganda–Rwanda combinations
Sample Flow
A flexible three-day gorilla-trekking outline.
Day 1: Travel southwest

Day 2: Trekking day
After the required briefing, join the trekking activity with the relevant park authorities. The pace, duration, and terrain vary with the allocated gorilla family and conditions on the day.
Day 3: Return or extend
Return toward Entebbe or Kampala, relax at Lake Bunyonyi, continue to Queen Elizabeth, or plan a Rwanda extension depending on your schedule.
