I look like a gorilla, just the way I'm built.

About Go Gorilla Safaris

Local experts in gorilla trekking and East African safaris

Go Gorilla Safaris is the gorilla trekking and safari brand of Experiya Tour Company Limited, a Ugandan tour company that plans and runs trips to see mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and the wildlife of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. When you book with Go Gorilla Safaris, your trip is arranged, guided and supported by Experiya Tour Company Limited from your first enquiry until you fly home.

Who we are

We are a team of Ugandan safari planners, driver-guides and travel consultants who live and work in the region we show you. We know the forests of Bwindi and Mgahinga, the volcano slopes of Rwanda and the savannah parks of Uganda because we travel them every season, not from a brochure.

That local knowledge is what makes a gorilla safari work. Gorilla permits are limited and sell out, roads to the parks are long, and the right lodge depends on which trekking sector your permit is for. We handle these details so you can focus on the hour you spend with a gorilla family.

Our trips range from a 2-day gorilla trek starting in Kigali to longer journeys that combine gorillas, chimpanzees, tree-climbing lions, Nile boat cruises and the Rwenzori Mountains. Every itinerary can be adjusted to your dates, budget and interests.

What we do

Experiya Tour Company Limited organises complete trips under the Go Gorilla Safaris name, including:

Gorilla Trekking

Treks and habituation experiences in Bwindi and Mgahinga in Uganda and Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, with permits secured for you.

Primate Safaris

Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale, Budongo and Nyungwe, golden monkey tracking and the full chimp habituation day.

Wildlife Safaris

Game drives and boat cruises in Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, Lake Mburo, Kidepo Valley and Akagera.

Hiking & Birding

Rwenzori and Virunga volcano hikes, and birding tours for Uganda’s 1,000+ species, from shoebills to Albertine Rift endemics.

Why travel with us

Go Gorilla Safaris is operated by Experiya Tour Company Limited. You deal directly with the people who run your trip, with no overseas middleman adding cost and slowing down answers.

Permits are issued only by the Uganda Wildlife Authority and the Rwanda Development Board. We book them through the official channels in your name, confirm your trekking sector, and plan your lodge and transfers around it.

Your guide drives you in a 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof, knows the parks and the wildlife, and stays with you for the whole trip to look after timing, safety and the small things that make a safari smooth.

Budget, mid-range or luxury; solo, couple, family or group; a short trek from Kigali or a two-week journey. Tell us what you want and we design the itinerary, then adjust it until it is right.

Your quote shows what is included and what is not. If a route, season or activity isn’t right for you, we will tell you before you book, not after.

Travelling responsibly

Mountain gorillas survive because tourism pays to protect them. We follow the gorilla trekking rules on every trip, keep group sizes to the park limits, use local lodges, guides and suppliers, and include community visits such as Batwa and village experiences that put money directly into local hands.
