Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Gorilla trekking in Bwindi is one of the world's great solo wildlife experiences — permits cost $700 USD and must be booked months in advance through the Uganda Wildlife Authority. You'll be in a group of 8 with a guide; solo travelers are always in the mix. The trek itself can last 1-8 hours depending on where the gorillas are that day. Arrive fit — the forest is steep.
