Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Group gorilla trekking tours?

Direct answer

Scheduled group departures from Entebbe or Kampala run 3–5 days with 6–12 travellers sharing a pop-top 4×4, cutting per-person costs 25–40% versus private — budget packages from roughly ,200–,800 pp sharing including permit, transport, and lodge. Fixed departure calendars mean less date flexibility; solo travellers avoid single supplements by joining a group. UWA still assigns trek groups of up to eight at the briefing.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit.
