Gorilla Trekking on a Sedan Chair in Uganda – Accessible Luxury Gorilla Safaris 2026–2030
What is Gorilla Trekking on a Sedan Chair?
Gorilla Trekking on a Sedan Chair in Uganda is a specialized and inclusive safari experience designed for travelers who want to meet the mountain gorillas of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park but may not be able to hike the steep, muddy terrain on foot.
With Jewel Gorilla Safaris, guests can trek in comfort using a Sedan Chair, a secure, specially designed seat carried by a trained porter team through the forest. This allows senior travelers, guests with limited mobility, or those recovering from health conditions to enjoy a full gorilla trekking experience without physical strain.
