Yes, there are age restrictions for gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda. The minimum age for participating in gorilla trekking is 15 years. This regulation ensures that trekkers are physically capable of handling the demands of the trek and are mature enough to follow strict guidelines designed to protect both the gorillas and themselves.
Children younger than 15 are generally not permitted on the treks due to the physical challenges involved and the potential for increased disturbance to the gorillas. This age restriction helps to maintain a safe and respectful environment for the wildlife and ensures a more enjoyable experience for all participants.
