Scholarships

Magical Gorilla Adventures has been organizing gorilla trekking tours in Uganda and Rwanda, as well as safaris across East Africa, for the past eight years.

We primarily specialize in offering Uganda safari tours, Rwanda safari tours and other types of tours in Africa.

We are happy to announce our $1000 scholarship program for students studying any course at the undergraduate level.

We believe all students deserve the chance to succeed and want to support them in reaching their goals. This scholarship is our way of giving back, especially to students who will contribute to the future of tourism.

We know that university and college play a big role in helping students grow. Our goal is to help connect education with talent.

That’s why we created the $1000 Magical Gorilla Scholarship Program.

The scholarship funds can be used to pay for tuition, scholastic materials, and accommodation during each academic year from 2026 to 2030.

This program is only for undergraduate college students. We will award $1000 to one winner each year.
