Gorilla Trekking Tours in Bwindi Forest-Uganda.
Only in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga Gorilla National Parks are gorilla trekking expeditions offered. Tours and safaris to see mountain gorillas are the most popular activity in these two national parks. Experience cultural tourism, gorilla trekking, bird watching, nature walks (such as the Nkuringo Walking Trails), butterflies, and reptiles (including mountain gorillas) in these national parks. You can also photograph and film these primates in their natural habitat.
Mountain gorilla safaris are the park’s most well-known attraction. The park’s four sections are home to distinct groups of these primates. The northern Buhoma, the eastern Ruhija, and the southern Nkuringo and Rushaga are all parts of this sector.
There is only one gorilla family and one section in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Get in touch with Monumental Expeditions and Safaris if you want to know more about hiking with the Bwindi Gorillas in Uganda.
The tropical rain forest of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has typical yearly temperatures ranging from 7–15°C to 20–27°C. Between 1,400 and 1,900 millimeters of rain falls there each year. In March and April, as well as in September and November, the torrential rains reach their peak.
The mountain gorillas are a major draw for visitors to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a World Heritage Site. Half of the mountain gorilla population still calls this area home. Of the estimated 800+ Mountain Gorillas in the world, 400+ call this forest home.
These docile primates are among the most endangered species on Earth. As a result of illnesses, habitat degradation, and poaching, they are in grave risk of extinction. Among Uganda’s safari parks, this one brings in more money for the Uganda Wildlife Authority than any of the others.
Situated on the rift valley’s edge in the country’s southwestern region lies Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) forms Bwindi National Park’s western boundary. The closest major town to the park, Kabale, is located 29 kilometers southeast of the park, and the area is sometimes called the impenetrable forest.
The 331-square-kilometer beautiful national park is situated in the highest regions of the Kigezi highlands, at a height of 1,190 to 2,607 meters above sea level; 60% of the park’s territory is at an elevation of more than 2,000 meters. Rwamunyonyi hill, located on the park’s eastern side, is the highest point within the park, while the northernmost tip is the lowest.
Getting to Bwindi Forest National Park from Entebbe or Kampala takes about 9–10 hours by car, while a chartered aircraft takes just an hour. Traveling and other little activities often occupy the first and end days of a Uganda Gorilla Safari or Safari.
The trip is lengthy, particularly if you’re taking the road, but the landscape along the way makes it all worthwhile. Even though it is one of the most popular safari parks in Uganda, there is a lot more to this location than meets the eye.
