Silverback gorilla tours offer the ultimate wildlife experience! Whereas game drives are great, an African safari is incomplete without a silverback gorilla tour to Uganda, Rwanda and Congo. A silverback Gorilla safari takes you hiking through dense rain forest to meet face to face with wild gorillas in Africa. Trekking to see silverback gorillas in Africa or participating in the gorilla habituation experience are special and once in a lifetime experiences - You will be having a close encounter with creatures that look and behave like we humans. Is Gorilla Trekking Ethical? Yes. Because it is the only way to generate funds for gorilla conservation in these developing countries. The money raised helps protect the primates from poachers and also helps build the required infrastructure in the parks. Humans are less likely to harm the primates if they understand the benefit of gorilla trekking to their communities. You might want to see our 3 Days Uganda Gorilla Safari package.
In countries were mountain gorilla trekking is possible, gorilla tourism is far more valuable - Most visitors to East Africa come to see wild gorillas alongside other activities like golden monkey trekking, birding, mountain hiking, chimpanzee trekking or visiting the grave of Dian Fossey.

With about 28 Gorilla groups available for trekking, only 8 visitors are allowed to visit each gorilla family in a day.

Visitor must book early in order to secure their gorilla permits. How do you find our 3 Days Gorilla Trekking Rwanda Package.
When is the best time to see gorillas in Africa? Tracking gorillas in Africa is a year round activity but the periods just after the rains are perfect for the adventure. During a silverback gorilla safari in Africa, the decision on which gorilla family to track depends on your overall fitness and preference. Some gorilla groups live near the starting points for tracking while others go deeper in the forest. In order to allow our clients get the best of both worlds, we have designed packages involving silverback gorilla safaris in all the three countries - Uganda, Congo and Rwanda. A 2 days Rwanda gorilla tour may be what you are looking for.

Because of their location around the equator, the climate conditions in Rwanda, Uganda and DR Congo allow Wildlife Safaris to be done throughout the year. However the best time to visit Uganda and other East African counties on a safari is during the drier seasons (January, February, March, June, July, August and September). During the drier months, the park roads are free of mud and the animals gather at specific waterholes to drink making it easy to spot them. Gorilla trekking in Africa is best done during the dry season to avoid the slippery trails typical of rainy seasons. Unfortunately the hotel rates are higher and permits for silverback gorilla tours in Africa need to be booked in advance. You might want to see our 1 Day Rwanda Gorilla Safari package.
The wet season (March to May and October to September) has its advantages especially if you are eyeing Gorilla Tours. There are fewer visitors in the park making for a more personal and private safari especially for wildlife photographers, researchers and those doing sport fishing in Uganda. Some hotels reduce their rates because there are few tourists. Birders will find the wet season amazing for birding. It is the breeding season and birds are everywhere. Migratory birds come to East Africa to escape the heat elsewhere and take advantage of the fresh fruits and insects. If you are interested in hiking check our our 3 Days Nyiragongo hike tour and the 1 Day Bisoke volcano hike. You might also be interested in more information about hiking mount Rwenzori in Uganda.
