Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Can disabled travelers do gorilla trekking in Uganda?

Direct answer

Uganda sets no upper age limit and offers sedan-chair ('stretcher') services (0–0) for guests with limited mobility—teams of porters carry you on forest paths in Buhoma and other sectors with advance operator notice. Fitness still matters for altitude (1,200–2,600 m) and trek duration; discuss medical needs with your lodge and UWA before booking permits.

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.
