Where Can I Take a Gorilla Tours in Uganda?

You are asking where to trek Gorillas in Uganda? Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park answers the question. The park is a home for half of the world’s mountain Gorillas, whose encounter and eye contact is the most exciting in the whole of Africa hence offering the ultimate Gorilla experience. Bwindi is one of the only parks with all sorts of tourist attractions where you can pay for and get different encounters such as mist hillsides, different plant species, different mammals, birds, butterflies, tree species, fern species, frogs, chameleons, geckos among many endangered species.

Gorilla trekking in this park takes four trail heads where by each trail has different families and now the choice is yours to choose which trail and family. However, my preference was Nkuringo trail which has only one family. In the family, we were given one hour to track this family and they tend to mind their own business as you get the chance to take all sorts of photo pauses. The contact to the family was really exciting and amazing giving unforgettable memories. As we trailed through the rain forest, an opportunity to watching birds also came along displaying different bird species such as Silver bird, Weaver Birds, Pied, Red-throated Bee-eater, White-browed Sparrow Weaver, Speckle-fronted Weaver to mention but a few. Why not booking with 4×4 Car Hire Uganda that offers quality services to make your self dive holiday unforgettable and among them includes the car rental in Uganda and enjoy discounts as well as the charming services including free transport to and from the airport, gorilla permits and lodge bookings at no extra cost.

Besides Gorillas, the park has more tour activities which you cannot go without. Decided to take waterfall trail that lead us through one of Uganda’s most pristine tracts of rain forest passing beneath tree ferns to visit the sparkling waterfalls. In this trail, we were able to sight some primates such as monkeys and more bird species as well. There after the ‘Batwa Experience’ helps preserve the culture of the Twa (Batwa) people – who were displaced from their forest habitat when Bwindi became a national park – by allowing you to both meet the Twa and see how they lived in the forest. The five-hour tours include witnessing a mock hunting party with bow and arrows, stories from Twa legend, and song and dance – an intense and often emotional experience. With such an experience, Bwindi remains in your memory and always be forced to come back for such unforgettable encounters. Gorilla Safari Tours will always give you the best services you need from Bwindi National Park. Do not hesitate to pay a Gorilla permit with them for they listen to a client and advice you accordingly.
