Take it from me,a gorilla trekking safari to Uganda and Rwanda is a lifetime experience that you can ever get.With a lot of adventurous activities that these countries offer,it stands out as the best and many visitors are fond of making repeated trips to these East African countries.
In Uganda,gorilla trekking is mainly done from Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga National Park while in Rwanda,it is only done from Volcanoes National Park.
Have you ever imagined about spending a day in the tropical rainforests of Africa looking at the great mountain gorillas?Then visiting these two countries is your answer.Enjoy a thrilling journey to the parks as you look at the magnificent nature plus taking some clear photos at the equator.Since the distance from Kampala to the south west of Uganda where these elegant primates are found is long,you cant trek the same day of your travel.You are required to have enough rest before going gorilla trekking because it requires one to be physically fit and relaxed.This also applies to Rwanda.
To ease the work of a company organizing you trip,you are advised to book the gorilla permits in time because they are competitive to obtain due to the high demands.It should be noted that whether in Uganda or Rwanda, a tourist is required to obtain a gorilla permit before he/she can be allowed to see these rare primates.
Apart from gorilla trekking,there are other tourism activities one can enjoy while in these East African countries like;-chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe and Queen Elizabeth National Parks,game viewing,bird watching,golden monkey tracking in Volcanoes National Park,cultural tours,spot fishing,whitewater rafting at the source of the Nile in Jinja,Uganda, hiking,nature walks,bungee jumping,and many more
