Gorilla Trekking Before AFCON 2027
An hour with a habituated gorilla family is the single most extraordinary wildlife encounter in Africa. Do it before the tournament, while your schedule is still your own.
-
Scheduled flight from Entebbe to the southwest, then a scenic transfer through tea and terraced hills.
-
Briefing at dawn, then two to six hours through the forest for one unforgettable hour with the family.
-
Optional second permit or a village walk, then fly back to Kampala ahead of your first match.
