Welcome to Africa Gorilla Trips

Africa Gorilla Trips is a Uganda-based safari company specializing in private, tailor-made safaris across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. From our Uganda office on Katuna Road in Kabale and our Rwanda office on KN 5 Road in Kanombe, Kigali, we help travellers discover East Africa through thoughtfully designed journeys, personal communication and a genuine understanding of the destinations we promote. We welcome couples, families, solo travellers and small private groups looking for experiences that reflect their interests rather than a one-size-fits-all itinerary.

Mountain gorilla trekking is at the heart of what we do. We design gorilla-focused journeys to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda, as well as Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, and help guests understand the differences between trekking locations, permit arrangements and nearby accommodation. Beyond the gorillas, our safaris can include chimpanzee tracking in tropical forests, golden monkey encounters, game drives in celebrated wildlife parks, boat excursions, birdwatching, mountain scenery, cultural visits and peaceful stays beside East Africa's beautiful lakes.

Our safari planning approach begins with your travel dates, preferred destinations, budget and the moments you most want to experience. We then help shape a practical route, consider travel distances and border crossings, suggest comfortable accommodation and organise appropriate private ground transfers and guiding arrangements. Whether your journey is a short gorilla trekking escape from Kigali, a longer Uganda wildlife and primate adventure, a Kenya or Tanzania safari, or a combination of countries, we work to balance memorable activities with enough time to enjoy each place.

We believe a rewarding safari should feel personal from the first enquiry to the final day. That means clear communication, carefully considered itineraries, respect for wildlife and local communities, and helpful support as your plans take shape. Our aim is to help you experience Africa with confidence, curiosity and comfort, while leaving room for the unexpected moments that make a journey truly special. Explore our safari packages below and discover the places, wildlife and experiences that could become part of your own African story.
