What you’ll see
Moments most travellers come back talking about.
01 · Experience
Face to face with a silverback
One hour with a habituated family in Bwindi. No glass, no rope — just the soft snap of bamboo as they feed and the sense that they're as curious as you are.
02 · Experience
Chimps in the canopy
Kibale's 80-strong community moves overhead while you walk the trails below — pant-hoots, drumming, the occasional fig tree raid.
03 · Experience
The Kazinga channel at dusk
The highest concentration of hippos in Africa, plus elephants drinking, fish eagles overhead, buffalo on the banks. We do it as a sunset boat cruise.
04 · Experience
Tree-climbing lions of Ishasha
Queen Elizabeth's southern sector hides one of only two known populations of fig-tree-climbing lions. We game-drive there in low season for the best chance.
Where we go
Five corners of Uganda we know cold.
Every trip starts and ends at Entebbe International. Drive times below assume our private 4×4 with a driver-guide. Flight options shown are charter — we can usually arrange them on a week’s notice.

What guests say
Trips travellers actually remember.
“We’d been planning this trip for two years and Charles’s team made it feel like a long weekend with old friends. The gorilla hour was unreal — and the lodge porch on day three was worth its own ticket.”

5-Day Gorillas & Queen Elizabeth
Why Cgorilla
Local guides. Real conservation. No filler.
Permits secured first
We hold UWA gorilla permits for every confirmed trip — no scrambling at the gate, no last-minute date changes.
Born here, guiding here
Our team grew up around Bwindi. They know which gorilla families are habituated, which trails stay quiet, and where the lions cross at dusk.
Small groups, fair pricing
Maximum 8 guests per trip. We publish prices upfront — no hidden permit fees, no group-tour surprises.
