Gorilla trekking In Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga  National Parks
​

A Gorilla Trek is a highlight of all visits done in Uganda and Rwanda and certainly mountain gorillas are the major reason as to why very many people visit these 2 destinations. 

 

Although tracking mountain gorillas can be conducted all year round in these two countries (Uganda & Rwanda) due to the somewhat damp seasons experienced by the national parks in which these gorillas stay, the majority of tourists prefer visiting from June to September as well as from December up to February. You can visit Bwindi at any time of the year, the low season calls for cheaper gorilla permit price.

Volcanoes National Park Rwanda
​

​Volcanoes National Park, which runs along the border with the DRC and Uganda, is home to the Rwandan section of the Virungas. Comprising five volcanoes, the Virungas are utterly spellbinding and few would argue that this is not one of the most exciting national parks in Africa

Volcanoes National Park is most famous for being home to mountain gorillas and the research base for famed zoologist Dian Fossey... There is so much to do in Volcanoes National Park and when we visited in November 2017, we were lucky enough to get to experience most of what the park has to offer. If you choose to visit too, you’ll be in for the adventure of a lifetime. ( Gorilla trekking, Volcano Hiking, Bird watching. Golden Monkey Trekking, and cultural tour)

Bwindi National Park:

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest supports the hugest Population of Mountain Gorilla.  It is an ancient forest also called the “Place of Darkness.”  The tree cover makes it very dark within this forest.  The forest’s altitudes are between 1,160m and 2,607m above sea level. The Bwindi plus Mgahinga each possess varying characteristics as well as similarities. The Bwindi isn’t an extinct volcanic region while the Mgahinga is.

​

Mghahinga National Park:
​

Mgahinga Gorilla Park sits on higher altitudes and the Mountain Gorillas move up and feed on some of the Afro-montane vegetation.  Typically Mountain Gorillas eat large quantities of flowers, leaves, fruit, roots, bamboo, and shoots in season.  Adults can consume up to 75 pounds each day.

The day of a Mountain Gorilla starts at 6 am up to 6pm with a snooze around lunchtime.  Uganda receives Light just past 6 am and darkness falls around 7pm.

These move every day to different locations where they make nests using twigs plus leaves and spend their night.  Some people have found these reasonably comfortable, just enough to actually slumber in.

​

Nyungwe National park

​

Nyungwe National Park lies in southwest Rwanda, partly abutting the Burundi border. It's a vast area of mountain rainforest, home to many species of chimpanzees, plus owl-faced and colobus monkeys. The Canopy Walkway, part of the Igishigishigi Trail, is a high suspension bridge with views over the valley and surrounding forests. A trail runs to the Kamiranzovu Marsh, with its birdlife, orchids, and waterfall

​

Akagera National Park

​

Akagera National Park lies in eastern Rwanda, hugging the border with Tanzania. It's characterized by woodland, swamps, low mountains, and savannah. The varied terrain shelters wildlife including zebras, giraffes, elephants, lions, and hundreds of bird species, such as the rare shoebill stork. In the southern part of the park, vast Lake Ihema is home to hippos and crocodiles.
