Gorilla tracking In Uganda is chance to stare into the brown
shy eyes of the mountain gorillas. They are residents of great Bwindi forest National
Park and most of the safari bookings in Uganda include gorilla trekking. Despite
this great demand, only 8 gorilla permits are released each day for a
particular family. Only about 400 mountain gorillas are residents of Uganda and
this is the almost half the total number of mountain gorillas in the entire
world. A Gorilla trekking flying Safari to Bwindi forest National Park and Murchison
falls National park is one of the most interesting
On the first day fly to Bwindi Forest National Park from
Entebbe to Kihihi Air strip. This flight is about 1hrs and 30minutes then get a
vehicle transfer to Buhoma side of Bwindi which is about 2 hours on a bumpy road.
You may take a nature walk in Bwindi
forest National Park where you will enjoy the birds, monkeys, baboons that are
residents of the park. Accommodation for the night must be booked in advance in
case you have travelled on your own.
The second day, you head to the ranger station for briefing.
In case you are trekking gorillas in Buhoma sector, you may not require hiring
a car for the transfer but in case you are trekking gorillas in Ruhija, you
require hiring a car. Put on your gorilla trekking wear and hire a porter to
give you a push when tired or carry your trekking requirement. The time of
returning after the trek is not known so you must carry your packed lunch and
water to quench your thirst. When you get to meet the gorillas, stay with them
for just one permitted hour and return to the lodge to relax or head for the Batwa
cultural experience.
Day three involves a transfer to Kihihi airstrip to catch up
with your flight to Murchison a Falls National park. The flight is about 2
hours and 30 minutes and then gets a transfer from Pakuba or Bugungu air strip.
Arrive and enjoy a game drive as you go into the Park. You may see animals like
warthogs, water bucks, bush bucks, giraffes to mention but a few. Check into
your lodge
On the fourth day, enjoy a game drive in the northern sector
of the park. You may have the chance of seeing animals like the lions,
leopards, Rothschild giraffes, water bucks, bush bucks to mention but a few. On
return, head to the pier for a launch cruise to Murchison Falls. This is a
spectacular energetic point that produces a cloudy appearance when then burst
out to produce a cloudy appearance. Enjoy the view on the shores as animals get
down to quench there thirst.
On the firth day get prepared to drive back to catch up with
your home return flight.
