Gorilla Trekking
A private permit, a single tracker family, and an hour in the presence of mountain gorillas found nowhere else on earth.

ibara safaris designs private gorilla trekking, primate tracking, and Big Five journeys for a small number of guests each year — each one built entirely around you.
A safari, we believe, should never feel arranged. It should feel discovered — one guide, one vehicle, one family or party at a time, moving through Uganda at the pace of the forest itself.

Discover moreWe accept a deliberately small number of journeys each season — the rest of our attention goes into the ones we do.
Every itinerary is designed personally, not assembled from a catalogue.
One vehicle, one guide, one party — never combined with strangers.
A share of every journey funds ranger and habitat programmes in the parks we visit.
Ugandan-based specialists who know every camp, permit, and back road firsthand.
ibara safaris doesn't build or own camps. We hand-pick a small circle of independent lodges and tented camps across Uganda — each one chosen for a setting like this: a river, a forest edge, a plain that empties to the horizon. Full details on our partner properties are coming soon.
