Mountain gorilla tracking is an absolutely unparalleled experience. Seeing these extraordinary animals in the wild is awe-inspiring and humbling. The playfulness and curiosity of the youngsters is heart-melting; the size and power of the silverbacks is heart-stopping. Even watching them do something so simple and low-key as plucking stems to eat is mesmerizing. To be certain, tracking them is an... more

They are right out of Ruhengeri. They know their stuff. I stayed in moderate price hotels. In Ruhengeri ,Centrre Pastoral Notre Dame de Fatima.... more

About $500 per trip to see the gorillas but the money goes to the guides & paying off the local community not to turn the jungle into farm land. It... more

Our trip to see the Mountain Gorillas was a life-changing event! We went with Churchill Safaris and had the best tour guide we have ever had. Both Uganda and Rwanda are safe, friendly, and affordable. The money spent seeing the gorillas goes to safeguarding these beautiful endangered creatures, as well as helping the local people coexist and prosper within the... more
