37 Gorillas safaris and holidays. One of the most incredible wildlife experiences ever – gorilla safaris are a once in a lifetime opportunity. To see these huge, endangered primates in their natural environment can often be very humbling. From the mountain gorillas in Virunga Mountains to lowland gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, these holidays offer the best gorilla experiences in Uganda and Rwanda. All gorilla safari holidays require a gorilla permit which funds anti-poaching patrols and supports gorilla conservation.

The most exciting part of the holiday was seeing the Mountain Gorillas in their natural environment at very close hand - literally right next to them when they decided the quickest way to the next part of the forest was to walk right through our small group.
(more)Most memorbale was almost walking into a zebra on my way to the toilet one night! The camping was challenging for me, but it was worth it to hear animals at night. 5 stars. (more)This was the trip of a lifetime and more than fulfilled all of my hopes for it...the first moment that I saw the gorillas. This moment will stand out in my memory as one of the great moments of my life. I was moved to tears. (more)Excellent! A once in a lifetime and very unique experience... Getting so close to chimps and a silverback gorilla - amazing! (more)The whole of our week in Rwanda was extraordinary and memorable... and we lost our hearts to this small and extremely beautiful country. We had two days gorilla tracking which were wonderful - not least because of the great organisation and knowledge of the local guides and trackers. (more)
A very memorable trip in a beautiful country. The Ugandan people are very welcoming and the wildlife is spectacular.

It was all fantastic. Of course one of the highlights was coming face to face with the beautiful mountain gorilla.
