About Uganda Gorilla Tours
Your Local Partner for Gorilla Trekking & Safaris in Uganda
Uganda Gorilla Tours is a locally based safari company specializing in gorilla trekking and wildlife safaris in Uganda and across East Africa. We are part of Mumwe Safaris, an established East African tour operator, and our focus is on creating well-organized, personal, and memorable journeys for travelers who want to experience Uganda’s mountain gorillas and incredible wildlife.
For us, gorilla trekking is more than simply arranging a permit and transport. It is about helping you experience one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife encounters in a safe, responsible, and comfortable way. From your first inquiry to the moment you return home, our team is here to make the planning process simple and your time in Uganda enjoyable.
Our Story
Uganda Gorilla Tours grew from Mumwe Safaris‘ experience organizing safaris in Uganda and the wider East African region. As demand for gorilla trekking continued to grow, we created a dedicated platform focused on helping travelers discover Uganda’s mountain gorillas while also experiencing the country’s diverse landscapes, wildlife, cultures, and communities.
Today, we organize gorilla trekking adventures in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, as well as wildlife and primate safaris to destinations including Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, and other parts of Uganda.
Whether you are looking for a short gorilla trek, a private 4×4 road trip from Kampala or Entebbe, a fly-in safari to Bwindi, or a longer Uganda wildlife adventure, we can tailor the journey around your interests, time, and budget.
A Team That Knows Uganda
Behind every safari is a team of local professionals who understand Uganda and take pride in sharing it with visitors. Our driver-guides and safari specialists bring practical knowledge of the country’s roads, national parks, lodges, trekking destinations, and local communities.
Our experienced guides are an important part of your safari experience. They do more than drive you from one destination to another—they share their knowledge of Uganda’s wildlife and culture, help you understand what you see along the way, and make sure your journey runs smoothly.
From planning your itinerary and securing your gorilla permit to arranging accommodation and transportation, our reservations team works closely with you to organize the details.

We are committed to responsible travel and to creating safari experiences that respect Uganda’s wildlife, environment, and local communities.
