We Are Carbon Neutral

While we continuously emit carbon dioxide on our transportation vehicles while carrying out our exclusive trips with our Safari Vehicles & during Flying Safaris, We have taken the initiative to calculate the carbon emitted from the adventures as a result from burning fossil fuels, in return, we fund projects that balance an equal amount to what is released during our transportation trips. An Example is our effort to reforestation of native tree species around the rain forests in Uganda.

Travel & offer a Trip: Twice a year at end of each year, Gorilla Walking Safaris positively sponsors school Kids to national parks. Many of these Rural school kids have not seen an elephant or lion and have not even been to a zoo. As part of our social & educative conservation measures, We organise for the rural school kids a 1 day or 2 days trip to a national park so they can see an elephant or lion in the wild while witnessing educative conservation projects. This is in company of an educative ranger guide.

In Addition to the educational support we extend to the school kids, we also believe that educational & Conservation exposure greatly impacts young lives positively.

So when you book a trip with us, You can be rest assured that you will enjoy your trip at peace while knowing you are positively impacting towards an educational & conversational exposure to the young & unable to travel generation.
