What draws travellers here

  • Gorilla trekking
  • Golden monkey tracking
  • Guided volcano hikes

Plan it well

Build the visit around permit availability and the demands of your chosen walk. A gorilla trek and a volcano ascent are different activities; we help you choose a sensible pace rather than squeeze both into one day.

Wildlife moves freely; sightings are never guaranteed. Activities depend on permits, conditions and availability.
