This TRVLD experience offers a rare opportunity to see mountain gorillas in their natural habitat inside Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Bwindi is one of the only places in the world where this is possible, making it a true bucket-list adventure.
The core itinerary is a 3-day experience, designed to be efficient and well-paced, with optional add-on days available for travelers who want to extend their trip. The journey includes coordinated transfers, lodging near the park, and a guided gorilla trek led by expert rangers.
