Gorilla Trekking Safaris in Uganda


Gorillas are the world's biggest living primates and offer over 98% of our hereditary code (DNA), making them perhaps the nearest relative. They live in families with complex social structures and show conduct that a large portion of us can perceive from communications with our own families. Every single African Gorilla is imperiled or fundamentally jeopardized. Uganda Gorilla tours give us opportunities to explore and enjoy some time with them.


The Uganda tours ideal for Gorilla trekking 

There are two areas (parks) for Mountain Gorilla trekking in Uganda. The first and most mainstream is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the southwest of Uganda. This UNESCO-recognized reserve of about 321 square kilometers of thick, fog-filled rainforest thought to be more than 25,000 years of age is ideal for Uganda Gorilla trekking tours. It is home to around half of the world's Mountain Gorilla population, with more than ten identifiable or habituated troops available for tracking and other for research located in four sectors within the park that is; Nkuringo, Buhoma, Rushaga and Ruhija.

The ideal tours to encounter them are; 3 days Gorilla trekking in Bwindi and 3 days Mountain Gorilla habituation in Bwindi. The second, less-frequented choice is Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, situated in the extraordinary far southwest corner of the nation on the inclines of the Virunga Mountains. It offers outskirts with Rwanda and the DRC and with an absolute zone of just 34 square kilometers, is Uganda's smallest national park. It is home to one habituated trans-boundary gorilla troop.


What you can expect and the Gorilla experience


Tracking the Mountain Gorillas ranks as Africa’s premier wildlife encounter and among top in the world. A subsequent eye contact with them or meeting them is an emotional experience and something long to remember after your African holiday.
Any place you go gorilla trekking, recollect that you should endeavor to discover the gorillas and none can guarantee a sighting. All gorilla species have figured out how to remain as far away from people as possible and Uganda Gorilla tours to discover the Mountain Gorillas typically include a few to some good hours of climbing through thick-tangled vegetation. Trekking through the misty mountain forest characterized by chilly weather, steep and at times slippery terrain is quite challenging but such an epic African Adventure and it’s worth the time and effort. Habituated troops are used to human presence, however, so when you do discover them you will be allowed an hour in their presence and a reasonable level of distance (7 meters) is required away from them.


Best time 

Gorilla tracking is an all year round activity, however, the dry season is the best time for Uganda Gorilla Safaris when the ground is dry. It begins in June, July, August, September and December, January, February. During the dry season, the natural surroundings are kept drier and make it simpler for trekkers to climb through thick vegetation and soak slants to scan for mountain gorillas dissimilar to during the wet or rainy season when there is a lot of precipitation which makes the ground slippery and tricky.
The low season months of April, May and November however, attract greater discounts on your gorilla tour.
