"Gorilla Trekking Safari review"

Based at Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge on 16 Oct 2023
"We spent an hour with the Kwitonda family and it was the fastest hour of my life.

We literally walked next to the whole family, the silverback included. Even though it rained the whole time and the trek was very muddy, being able to see them interact, still being so active and follow them as they moved through the mountain was an unforgettable experience!"

"Wow! It is an awe-inspiring journey that leaves an indelible mark on our souls.

The opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close is truly a privilege.

The trekking experience itself was a adventure and I don't think we could have done it without the wonderful porters and guides." Read more about this whole safari

"Gorilla Trekking Safari review"

Based at Mountain Gorilla View Lodge on 21 Jul 2023
"What an amazing experience!!! My husband has wanted to see the mountain gorillas since he was a young child, so this is one of his favorite memories of our trip.

We visited the Amahoro gorilla family with 22 members. We hiked about 1 hour and 20 minutes to the gorilla family. I was surprised at how deftly the gorillas moved through the dense jungle. During our hour with them, we saw about 15 of the gorillas, and they all moved around the entire time. It was like another hour of hiking after the 1 hour hike to find them! Our leader, Cary, and ranger, Jean Pierre, made sure each guest was safe and had many opportunities to view the gorillas. Such a great experience!" Read more about this whole safari

"Gorilla Trekking Safari review"

Based at Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge on 16 Jan 2023
"I was very happy to have two treks with a day off in between–especially as the first hike was very difficult! Having a porter was a Godsend and I highly recommend you hire one.

Both of my sightings were deeper in the bush where it was a little tougher to see, but you really felt like you were in the gorillas environment. Rangers were very knowledgeable and aware of the pace of the different group members, which they managed well.

As someone who is well travelled on safaris and has had amazing encounters with wildlife, this was my first gorilla experience and it was absolutely brilliant! So very different from anything else I have done." Read more about this whole safari
