Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Gorilla trekking for seniors over 70?

Direct answer

Fit seniors over 70 trek successfully—UWA and RDB assign easier, nearer families on request, and sedan-chair teams (0–0 in Uganda, similar in Rwanda) carry less-mobile guests to the gorillas. Choose Rwanda's shorter volcanic slopes or Bwindi's Buhoma sector, hire two porters, and clear steep hiking with your physician first.

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.
