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!

You spending your hard earned money supporting their tourism provides education resources for the children. You are blessed beyond and deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor plus you are kind, and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your story ma’am.

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.

Thank you for the excellent video. I hope to see the gorillas early next year in the same national park. Happy travels to you.

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

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.

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.

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

@KLajoi 11 ай бұрын

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

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 Ай бұрын

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

@EmmaDee 17 күн бұрын

She made me feel more confident about going due to armed guards. I don’t worry about the gorillas but worry about kidnappers and being held for a ransom which I’ve heard happened to Americans. GoPro on headband and porter to help film would have been worth $50 in gold.

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

@KLajoi 6 ай бұрын

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.
