Why travel with the
Gorilla Safari Company?
We start with a blank sheet of paper. Our first-hand knowledge, trusted relationships and careful planning allow us to create a private safari around you—not ask you to fit one of ours.
Start planning your safari →First-hand knowledge
Decades of gorilla trekking experience and regular first-hand knowledge of the places, lodges and logistics that shape a successful journey.
Designed around you
Every safari starts with your priorities, pace and travel style. We shape the journey around you rather than asking you to fit a fixed itinerary.
People we trust
Experienced local guides, trusted partners and carefully selected properties help us deliver the journey exactly as it should be.
Small team.
Big commitment.
The Gorilla Safari Company is deliberately small and specialist. We know Rwanda and Uganda first-hand, we know many of the lodges and people we work with personally, and we remain closely involved from the first conversation until you return home. Every detail is handled personally, carefully and with purpose.
Meet John →Protecting what brings us here.
Gorilla tourism can play an important role in protecting the gorillas and their habitat while supporting the communities living around the parks. We choose our partners carefully and believe responsible tourism should have a positive impact on the places, wildlife and people that make these journeys possible.
