Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Gorilla trekking Uganda for solo travelers?

Direct answer

Solo travellers join scheduled small-group departures from Kampala or Entebbe (,200–,000 for 3–5 days) to split 4x4 and lodge costs—UWA assigns you to an eight-person trek group on trek day. Expect 25–50% single supplements on private trips; Rwanda's fixed group treks also suit solos, but Uganda's lower permit price and more group tour operators make it the better budget solo choice.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
