gorilla trek SAFARI

a once in a lifetime experience to witness these exceptional primates in their natural habitat

  • Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and holds over half the world's population of gorillas.

Deep in the heart of Uganda's breathtaking Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a transformative adventure awaits, offering a rare chance to witness Africa's majestic mountain gorillas up close.

Embark on an unforgettable journey into the misty forest, guided by expert trackers who lead the way to these awe-inspiring creatures in their natural habitat. The thrill of encountering gorilla families in the wild is often matched by the surprise of spotting them near camp, making every moment an extraordinary part of the wilderness experience.

In the evenings, guests gather around the central campfire under glittering stars, sharing stories of the day's sightings to the symphony of the forest’s night chorus.

The experience also extends to meaningful engagement with the local community, as guests have the opportunity to participate in philanthropic projects, connecting with the semi-nomadic Batwa people, the forest’s original inhabitants, for a glimpse into their unique culture and way of life.

Our selected partner lodge, designed to harmonize seamlessly with the surrounding ancient landscape, offers an intimate sanctuary with just ten luxury tents, blending comfort and eco-conscious design. Communal spaces, including a comfortable lounge, elegant dining area, and well-stocked bar, provide panoramic views of the lush rainforest, creating a serene retreat amid one of the world’s most unique ecosystems.

  • WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

    "I always love the mystery of not knowing the itinerary, and knew this Kenyan safari with Michelle would be equally as transformational and amazing, but different from the previous safaris.

    As usual, from the moment I landed in Nairobi the new experiences of abundance, awe and wonder blew my mind. Staying in lavish surroundings with a mix of traditional African artifacts and relics of colonisation blended with modern art and stories like I have only seen in movies.

    And the subtle transformation starts.

    Then for off-the-grid contrast, out to the virtually untouched Northern Frontier District for 10 nights of earthy, deep immersion in nature and myself.

    Walking over quartz crystal, among frankincense and Mehr trees, with camels and beautiful, singing Samburu tribesmen whose innate reading of the land pointed out that the wildlife was not far away.

    Every moment of every day was mesmerising to me. I actually have trouble finding words to describe the experience. However, the sense of calm and wholeness that comes over me while tuning in to my timelessness there, is blissful.

    Finishing off on the coast to reset and brainstorm, preparing for taking our new selves back to our usual environment, completed a full circle of growth.

    What always amazes me is how Michelle holds a strong presence with ease and grace, no matter what is in the space.

    No BS, no fluff.

    Heart-centered, intuitive nudges, sometimes raw and confronting, for me to look and connect deeper into my being, always timely and meaningful.

    Always feeling totally supported to be my raw, messy, authentic self to wade through the mud, untangle the tangled, and shed the old skin. And also, to be fully nurtured.

    I could easily live on safari, Michelle style!"
