Our Story
Our story
Founded in 2019, In Motion Gorilla Safaris began with a simple passion: sharing the wild beauty of East Africa through meaningful, conservation-focused travel. What started as a specialist gorilla trekking company in Uganda and Rwanda has grown into a trusted safari brand offering unforgettable adventures across some of Africa’s most remarkable landscapes.
From the misty forests of Bwindi and Mgahinga to the volcanic slopes of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, we create journeys that bring travelers closer to nature, wildlife, and local cultures. Over the years, we have expanded our experiences beyond gorilla trekking to include chimpanzee tracking, wildlife safaris in Serengeti and Queen Elizabeth National Park, Rwenzori mountain adventures, and immersive cultural encounters across East Africa.
At the heart of everything we do is a deep respect for wildlife, conservation, and authentic travel experiences. We believe gorilla trekking is more than an adventure—it is a powerful and emotional connection with one of the world’s most extraordinary species. Our experienced guides handle every detail with care, allowing travelers to fully experience the magic of Africa’s forests, savannahs, and vibrant communities.
Whether you are trekking mountain gorillas in Uganda, tracking chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, witnessing the Great Migration in Serengeti, or exploring the beauty of Rwanda and Kenya, every journey with In Motion Gorilla Safaris is designed to inspire discovery, adventure, and lasting memories.
