Jewel Gorilla Safaris – Gorilla Trekking Experts in Uganda, Rwanda & Congo
Jewel Gorilla Safaris is the specialized gorilla trekking brand proudly operated under Nextgen Safaris, created with one mission: to deliver the most immersive and expertly guided gorilla trekking experiences across Uganda, Rwanda, and DR Congo. Unlike general safari operators, Jewel Gorilla Safaris focuses exclusively on gorilla trekking adventures, giving travelers direct access to insider knowledge, priority permit access, and tailor-made itineraries designed around this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
With guaranteed gorilla permits secured in advance, we ensure that every guest gets to encounter the magnificent mountain gorillas in their natural habitat — whether it’s deep within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, the misty forests of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, or the rugged terrain of Virunga and Kahuzi-Biega National Parks in Congo.
What sets us apart is our commitment to conservation tourism, safety, and personalization. We operate small group and private tours, with options for luxury, midrange, or budget travelers — all while supporting local communities through initiatives like Good Hope Junior School in Kyotera District, Uganda.

Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a life-changing experience.

With 12 habituated gorilla families and a well-maintained trail network, the park offers a more accessible trekking experience with stunning volcanic scenery. Jewel Gorilla Safaris organizes private and group departures from Kigali, with permit handling, luxury accommodation, and optional cultural visits to the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village.

Virunga National Park in eastern DR Congo is Africa’s oldest national park and one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet. Trekking gorillas in Virunga is wild, raw, and deeply immersive. Though security situations vary, Jewel Gorilla Safaris arranges safe and custom-tailored expeditions with expert local guides. For travelers seeking adventure off the beaten path, Virunga offers unmatched authenticity and the chance to see Congo’s endangered mountain gorillas.
