Safari & Gorilla Trekking Tours

Combining Gorilla Trekking and Tanzania Safari

Gorilla trekking and a Tanzania safari are two incredible expeditions that offer unique and unforgettable experiences for Wildlife lovers. Gorilla trekking is a thrilling activity that brings you face-to-face with the amazing primates in their natural habitat. The experience begins with a trek through dense forests guided by experienced trackers who are familiar with the gorillas’ movements and behaviours. The deeper you go into the wilderness, the higher the anticipation builds and the chance of encountering a gorilla family becomes more real.

On locating the gorillas, you will spend 1 precious hour observing and interacting with them and this intimate encounter provides a rare opportunity to witness their social dynamics, observe their behaviours, and marvel at their sheer size and strength. The experience is awe-inspiring and humbling leaving a lasting impression on all who get the privilege of watching them up close. The Gorilla trekking experience also provides a deeper understanding of the importance of conservation and tourism and by taking part in this activity, you directly contribute to the conservation of these endangered species and support local communities around them. In East Africa Gorilla Trekking can be done in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Mgahinga National Park and Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park-Rwanda.

On the other hand, a Tanzania safari takes you on a journey through Africa’s most iconic landscapes and wildlife-rich destinations. It is a chance to witness the un touched beauty of nature and immerse yourself in the incredible biodiversity that Tanzania has to offer. From vast savannahs to lush wetlands and breathtaking mountains, Tanzania’s diverse ecosystems provide a home to a staggering array of wildlife.

The major highlight of a Tanzania safari is witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration which is often considered one of the most remarkable natural spectacles on Earth. Millions of wildebeest accompanied by zebras and other herbivores traverse the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing lands and the sight of thousands of animals on the move is a wildlife spectacle like no other and it is a testament to the incredible resilience and adaptation of these creatures.

In addition to the great migration, Tanzania is renowned for its remarkable national parks and game reserves such as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area a UNESCO World Heritage Site which is home to the Ngorongoro Crater a haven for the Big Five animals, the Serengeti National Park which offers endless opportunities for game drives and wildlife encounters, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park and other National Parks in the Southern circuit.
