The Ultimate Guide to Mountain Gorilla Trekking

The muzungu’s Ultimate Guide is designed to help you choose where to go gorilla trekking, where to stay, what to pack and explain how your trek supports the Mountain Gorillas and the local (human!) population. I also share ideas on other activities you can do in Uganda or Rwanda. All the info is based on my personal experience trekking the gorillas, and my 7 years working with conservation orgs and tour operators in Uganda and Rwanda. Any questions? Pls contact the Muzungu.
