Gorilla trekking is the most famous tourist activity in Uganda. It gives visitors the rare opportunity to walk through thick tropical forests in search of endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. The trek can take anywhere from one to six hours depending on where the gorillas are located. Once found, visitors spend one unforgettable hour observing them as they feed, play, groom one another, and care for their young. Seeing these gentle giants up close is an emotional and once-in-a-lifetime experience.
