Gorilla Trekking in Uganda | What It's REALLY Like

Looking for the trip of a lifetime? If you have an adventurous spirit and want to share space with some of the most amazing creatures on the planet, go Gorilla Trekking in Uganda!
While It's not the easiest thing to do, in this video I'll show you what it's really like as I take you with me on a journey to find some of the last mountain gorillas in the wild.
Cheaper than its Rwandan neighbor, Uganda is a welcoming country with one of the most beautiful mountainous landscapes I've ever seen. Watch this video for tips and advice so that you'll know what to expect on your expedition!

The quality of this video is that of an expensive tv-program. Not someone with 500 subs. Well done.

[@WarrenHolly]

I swear to you when I look into the eyes of these majestic creatures I see my ancestors.🙏🏾👍🏾 Great job

[@KLajoi]

Thank you so much 😀

[@randallleedy1095]

I was looking for a video that actually talked about and showed the hike. Yours is the best. You even included elevations and temperatures. I will be going to Uganda and your insights for what to expect are invaluable. But the best part was, at the end, you,sharing a moment of very sensitive reflection of life and your place in it. Thank you Ms. Parks. You, and your fear of snakes, will be with me on my trek.

[@KLajoi]

Haha I did mention snakes once or twice. Good luck on your travels! Thanks for watching.

[@sarap1074]

[@victorchavez3424]

THANK U, GREAT TRIP INDEED, SHARE, SHARE

[@pamojatoursandtravel]

Thank you so much for capturing the beauty of Uganda. Much appreciated.

[@KLajoi]

You’re welcome! Uganda is underrated!

[@ditmars599]

thanks for sharing the info. i’m headed there at the end of the month.

[@KLajoi]

Hope you had a great experience!

[@ChewsToExplore]

This is amazinggggg, I always wanted to do this experience but thought it was so much money and not worth it. I loved how I learned so much about Uganda that I never knew about before. You are a master storyteller and it was soooo good that you got your friend Al to come.

[@KLajoi]

Thank you! Same! Well I always thought it was worth it, but I just didn’t think I could afford it 😅. But back then I was mainly looking at luxury travel agency quotes. You can book directly with a tour company in Uganda (what I did), or you can even do the drive yourself and rent a Jeep if you’re adventurous and go with a group of people. Would save you some dollars.

[@brandondennis7577]

I could watch this a million times! What a great visual.

[@KLajoi]

That makes me smile. Thanks for watching!

[@_NaomieV]

So dope….those views were amazing. I enjoyed watching your instastories of this adventure. Definitely appreciated this visual as well.

[@KLajoi]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching ❤

[@arob9702]

Very cool! Going in three months to Uganda and Kenya and this was good explainer for what to expect.

[@KLajoi]

I’m glad it was helpful. Have fun on your trip!

[@michaeldonovan3959]

I have booked an Uganda Rwanda trip for early next year. By far, this is the best short video I've watched of the iconic gorilla tracking experience. Thank you.

[@KLajoi]

Ahhh I'm so excited for you! Such a beautiful place. Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

[@mosekamercy930]

[@omarnjom9775]

👍

[@user-fr5qt5rr4r]

Thank you for the beautiful video. How many hours did you hike before seeing the gorillas?

[@KLajoi]

About 2 hours but it depends on where the gorillas are. They happened to not be too far on that day 😊

[@rosiezrosiez9084]

I plan on going. What month did you go?

[@WarrenHolly]

New Sub. Xcited to be here 👍🏾🙏🏾🌹

[@KLajoi]

Thanks for subbing! ✨

[@neverstopexploring247]

What time of year/which month were you there? I'll be there jn late September this year.

[@KLajoi]

I was there in late December.

[@neverstopexploring247]

@@KLajoi thank you! I think September should be a good month!

[@TemerityPascal]

I cried watching this! I want to do it so badly, if I can just get past worrying about poisonous snakes and insects. Do you know how readily treatment is available if something gets you?

[@KLajoi]

Do it! You only live once! Potential dangers are everywhere. Don’t let bugs and snakes stop you. I saw no snakes the entire time, I just talked about them a lot because I’d seen them at a sanctuary a few days prior lol

[@Mrviral-jq1tp]

Can you inform me , how much cost gor the trekking?

[@KLajoi]

Depends on whether you book a tour package to the park or self drive, and what level of accommodations you want, how many days etc. A permit to trek in the park in Uganda is $700 so it will cost at least that. Plan to spend between $1200-$2500 on average for a package.
