Responsible Tourism

Gorilla Pledge

Contribute to the protection of the majestic mountain gorillas by taking the Gorilla Friendly™️ Pledge as a way of raising awareness and willing compliance of established gorilla visitation rules and regulations meant to ensure a rewarding experience and minimize the risk of disease transmission to, and behavior change of, the gorillas while visiting and observing them.

The Gorilla Friendly™️ Pledge is an online awareness raising campaign aimed at encouraging all those planning to visit the mountain gorillas and even those who are not to pledge to observe gorilla tourism rules during treks and to share feedback on their trekking experience after the visit through the Gorilla Friendly™️ Pledge website.

The Gorilla Friendly™️ Pledge campaign was initiated by the International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP) a coalition of Conservation International, Fauna & Flora International and WWF and Wildlife Friendly Enterprise Network (WFEN) in 2014 and re-launched in 2020.
