About Jimnat Gorilla Tours

A licensed Destination Management Company built around one belief: that a safari is only as good as the people running it.

Our story

A Fort Portal-based DMC, operating across six countries.

Jimnat Gorilla Tours is a Destination Management Company based in Uganda, fully licensed and registered with the Registrar of Companies. We’re headquartered in Fort Portal, often called the “Tourism City” of western Uganda, and our services extend across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania.

We specialise in gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, giving visitors the chance to get close to these incredible primates in their natural habitat. Alongside that, we run birdwatching excursions, cultural encounters, mountain hiking, game drives and city tours for travellers who want to pair the wild with East Africa’s growing urban centres.

Booking with us is designed to be simple. Whether you reach out for a fully custom itinerary or want to book one of our set packages, our team handles the permits, transport and logistics so your trip starts with ease and ends with the stories you came for.

What travellers say

Real trips, real feedback.

“Our 3-day gorilla trekking in Bwindi was an unforgettable experience. The close encounter with gorillas and peaceful canoeing on Lake Bunyonyi were highlights — a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.”

“Jimmy was an exceptional guide on our 7-day primates and wildlife adventure starting from Kigali. My daughter, friends and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment, from the Kigali city tour through to our return to Entebbe.”

“Our day trip from Mbarara to Queen Elizabeth National Park with Jimnat Gorilla Tours exceeded expectations.”
