Sustainable Tourism

Gorillas and Wildlife Safaris is highly conscious of the necessity to protect the nature and to make sure that the local community benefits from tourism as well. By offering technical assistance to Ruhija Village, community near Bwindi Impenetrable National Park we are ensuring sustainable conservation as the pressure on the national park, which is also home to the rare and endangered mountain gorilla is significantly reduced.

Besides this, Gorillas and Wildlife Safaris supports eco-lodges like Jacana Safari Lodge, which are built with wood and other materials from the surroundings, doing every effort to conserve the environment with low impact. From its conception, we also use the services of Bigodi Swamp heritage trails and Ssezibwa Falls.
