Gorilla Brothers

Local Value in Conservation

Gorilla Brothers is a regional eco-conscious organization dedicated to fostering community engagement in conservation and eco-tourism across the Virunga region. Founded by passionate conservationists and tourism advocates, our mission is to create positive change by integrating local communities into conservation efforts and sustainable tourism. Through this approach, we provide meaningful jobs, share conservation knowledge, and offer essential resources, all while inspiring a shift from poaching to environmental stewardship.

Operating across Rwanda, DR Congo, and Uganda, we specialize in unique travel experiences that immerse you in the stunning beauty of the Virunga Massif. Our gorilla trekking and wildlife safaris take you deep into Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes. However, our commitment goes beyond exceptional tours. We are deeply invested in the well-being of the local people, particularly former poachers who once relied on wildlife hunting to survive. By offering alternative livelihoods through tourism, we empower these individuals and their families to transition to sustainable and rewarding careers, helping protect the rich biodiversity of the region.

Our Vision

We are committed to uplifting the families of former poachers and advancing the cause of eco-tourism in the biodiversity-rich Virunga Massif, creating lasting benefits for both the environment and the local communities.

Our Work

We offer community-based tours in the Virunga Massif to educate the offsprings of former poachers about the importance of conservation and tourism. Our outreach programs train locals in sustainable practices, nurturing a deep respect for nature.

Our Story

Gorilla Brothers was inspired by a profound moment when a gorilla rescued our father from a poacher’s snare, marking the beginning of our mission. This pivotal experience led to the founding of our organization, driven by a legacy of conservation.

Our father, now a dedicated gorilla trekking guide in Rwanda, embodies our commitment to this cause. Join us in the Virunga Massif for a transformative adventure and become part of our journey. “We are Gorilla Brothers.”
