Safari summary

A 1 -day gorilla trek in Uganda offers a condensed, intense experience in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, typically starting very early (3 AM) from nearby towns like Kabale, Kisoro, or even Kigali (Rwanda), involving a hike to see mountain gorillas, and returning the same day, with costs primarily for the $800 permit and transport/logistics. It's ideal for travelers short on time, requiring fitness for strenuous hiking through dense forest, but provides an unforgettable hour with the gorillas, making it a budget-friendly alternative to longer safaris.
