About Responsible Gorilla Trips
Locally owned. Community driven. Ten years of unforgettable, responsible safaris across Uganda and Rwanda.
"Travel that protects what you come to see — every trip we run puts money and pride back into the communities and forests of Southwestern Uganda."
We are based on Circular Road in Kisoro Town — minutes from the trailheads of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and a short drive from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. That means insider knowledge, honest advice, and trips run by people who call this landscape home.
What Makes Our Trips Different
Local Experts
Every itinerary is planned by a team who lives at the gateway to Bwindi and Mgahinga — not a call center overseas.
Expert, Licensed Guides
UWA- and RDB-certified guides and porters who know every trailhead, ranger post, and permit office personally.
