Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

How much time do you spend with gorillas?

Direct answer

Exactly one hour once the family is reached—timers start when the group first sights the gorillas. Total outing lasts 4–10 hours including briefing (7:30 am), hiking to the family (1–8 hours), the hour of observation, and return hike; habituation permits allow up to four hours at ,500.

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.
