Standard Safaris Uganda has undoubtedly raised the bar, not only as a Uganda’s leading gorilla trekking company in 2025 but also an outstanding gorilla safari company in Rwanda and D.R. Congo. We have exceled in organizing exceptional gorilla experiences in Uganda, Rwanda and D.R. Congo.
Standard Safaris gives all visitors the most remarkable gorilla trekking safari tours across the East African Region – Rwanda, Uganda, and D.R. Congo. Standard Safaris also earns a reputation for delivering outstanding gorilla adventures to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Volcanoes National Park and Kahuzi-Biega national park (for lowland gorilla trekking).
For the record, Standard Safaris has successfully organized gorilla tours for more than 100 people across Uganda, Rwanda and D.R. Congo and it’s just half a year (give us our flowers J).
In D.R. Congo alone, we have organized more lowland gorilla tours since December 2024 than any other local company. We promise to beat these numbers once eastern Congo is safe again to welcome tourists for lowland and mountain gorilla trekking in Kahuzi-Biega and Virunga national park respectively.
With commitment to quality, customer satisfaction and sustainability, Standard Safaris boasts off as the top choice for travelers seeking to encounter mountain gorillas in their natural homes. As Uganda’s gorilla trekking industry continues to thrive, Standard Safaris is committed to maintain its dominance into 2026 and the years to come, thanks to the exceptional services and client focused approach to all our team – safari planners, tour guides, drivers and directors.

Standard safaris and the entire team in general are not only well versed with Uganda’s wildlife and ecosystems, but also well trained to ensure that visitors have the most safety and comfort experience.
With years of experience navigating the rugged terrains of Uganda and Rwanda, our guides provide insightful commentary and expertly lead treks to locate gorilla families, making every journey educational and enjoyable.
Flexible and Informed Tour Consultants.
Standard Safaris employs a team of flexible and well-informed tour consultants and entire staff in general who excel at crafting gorilla trekking packages that meets individual needs.
Whether clients are on a tight budget seeking a budget friendly 3-day gorilla trek, or a luxury gorilla safari package, our tour planners carefully craft travel plans that meet with their preferences, physical capabilities and timelines.
All our safari planners possess deep knowledge of East Africa’s tourism that ensures every detail; from arranging gorilla permits to transportation, advice on accommodation options, weather and all other safari experiences.
Competitive and Transparent Pricing.
Affordability and friendly prices in general without compromising quality is what Standard Safaris does best. In 2025, Standard safaris has set out to offer exceptionally friendly prices that provide excellent value and remarkable experiences.
For example, we have introduced a remarkable 2-days gorilla tour in Uganda via Kigali which is a short, affordable and time-saving package for travelers attending conferences across East Africa or those with a dream of seeing gorillas but are tight on budget.
This kind of approach makes gorilla trekking accessible to a wide range of travelers while maintaining high exceptional standards.
Selection of best lodges.
Among the many other services that Standard Safaris prioritizes, is guest comfort by partnering with the best safari lodges and lodges near gorilla trekking destinations. We present a variety of lodging options for our clients to pick from – ranging from budget friendly campsites / Bandas to midrange lodges and high-end lodges. These lodges are entirely chosen because of either their proximity to the park gates, the quality of their services, and their commitment to sustainability.
Our clients also say spectacular views and staff hospitality are the highlights of their lodging experience.
Experts in organizing last minute gorilla safaris.
Standard Safaris also excels at organizing last minute gorilla treks in case of clients who book a few days to the start of their gorilla expedition. By forging strong relationships with the Uganda Wildlife Authority and local stakeholders, the company secures permits in advance and will go out of their way to arrange logistics even during the busier peak seasons like between June and September.
Our flexibility and swiftness in securing gorilla permits is an outstanding advantage.
PS: Gorilla permits are only limited to eight visitors per habituated gorilla group daily and they often sell out months in advance during peak seasons.
