Trekking in East Africa is a journey through some of the continent’s most awe-inspiring landscapes. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, challenges trekkers to ascend through lush rainforest, alpine moorland, and icy summit zones—culminating at Uhuru Peak with breathtaking sunrise views. In contrast, gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda offers a deeply humbling wildlife encounter. Hikes through misty montane forests lead to face-to-face moments with endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, a once-in-a-lifetime experience of connection and conservation. Together, these treks combine physical adventure, natural beauty, and profound encounters with Africa’s wild heart.
