Gorilla Trekking Age Limits — Important Travel Information

The minimum age requirement for gorilla tracking in Uganda and Rwanda, as well as for golden monkey trekking in Uganda, is 15 years old. The rules are quite firm on this matter, so please ensure that all clients and children are 15 or older to prevent any unfortunate situations, such as young guests being unable to participate in the adventure!

The age requirement for trekking chimpanzees in Uganda is set at 12 years, while children aged 10 and above can embark on the adventure of trekking golden monkeys in Rwanda, provided they are with an adult. Kids under 15 can visit Dian Fossey’s tomb, but the hike is quite challenging, so we advise against it for those younger than 12-13 years.
