During a gorilla trekking experience in Uganda, visitors can get as close as 7 meters (approximately 23 feet) to the gorillas. This distance is maintained to ensure the safety and well-being of both the gorillas and the trekkers. This close proximity allows for an intimate and awe-inspiring observation of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Trained guides and rangers accompany all treks, ensuring that visitors adhere to this distance and follow all protocols to minimize any potential disturbance to the gorillas. The experience of being within a few meters of these gentle giants, observing their behavior and interactions, is truly unforgettable and is conducted with the utmost respect for their natural environment
