Ruhija Gorilla Trekking Experience
Your Ruhija gorilla trekking adventure normally starts early in the morning with a briefing at the park headquarters. Rangers explain the trekking rules, safety guidelines, and what to expect during your forest adventure. After the briefing, you enter the beautiful Bwindi rainforest with your ranger guide. The trekking time depends on the location of the gorilla family, and it can take between 30 minutes and several hours. Once you find the gorillas, you will spend up to one hour observing them, taking photos, and enjoying the unforgettable experience of being close to these gentle giants.

Ruhija Gorilla Trekking Permit Cost
A gorilla trekking permit is required for every visitor who wants to trek mountain gorillas in Uganda.
The Uganda gorilla trekking permit allows you to:
- Enter Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
- Trek through the rainforest with armed rangers
- Spend one hour with mountain gorillas
- Support gorilla conservation efforts
We help travellers secure their gorilla permits early because permits are limited and demand is high, especially during peak travel seasons.

Ruhija gorilla trekking can be done throughout the year. However, the best months are usually:
June to September
- Less rainfall
- Easier hiking conditions
- Good photography opportunities
December to February
- Dry weather conditions
- Great for combining gorilla trekking with Uganda wildlife safaris
The rainy seasons (March-May and October-November) can also be good because the forest is beautiful and there are fewer visitors.
