Bwindi Impenetrable National ParkGorilla Trekking
A forest hike to spend an hour with a habituated gorilla family in Uganda, Rwanda or DR Congo.
Learn MoreTen activities, spread across our sixteen destinations. Every "What To Do" section on a destination page links back to one of these.
A destination tells you where. An activity tells you what your day actually looks like once you're there, and that's the harder thing to get right.
Every itinerary we plan is assembled from the ten activities below, in whatever mix suits your dates, fitness level and interests. Gorilla trekking anchors most Uganda, Rwanda and DR Congo trips, but the same traveler might add a boat safari, a cultural visit and a mountain climb to the same two weeks, each one planned with the same level of detail as the last.
Each activity page covers what to actually expect, which of our sixteen destinations it's offered in, and how it's usually combined with the rest of a trip.
