The minimum age for gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda 

The minimum age for gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda is 15 years old. This regulation is strictly enforced to ensure the safety and well-being of both the trekkers and the gorillas. The age limit is in place because gorilla trekking can be physically demanding and requires a certain level of maturity to handle the close encounters with these powerful animals.

In Rwanda, gorilla trekking is primarily conducted in Volcanoes National Park, while in Uganda, it takes place in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Both countries are committed to conservation and responsible tourism, which is why the age limit is an important aspect of their trekking policies.

For families with children under 15, alternative activities such as nature walks, cultural experiences, and other wildlife safaris are often recommended to ensure that everyone in the group can enjoy a fulfilling experience in the region.
