The Gorilla Tracking Adventure in the Misty Forest of Bwindi



Mountain Gorilla Tracking ranks among the world's premier wildlife encounters. Meeting these majestic Apes on one of your African safaris and staring at a group of these Gorillas is an emotional and humbling experience; tears will shortly roll down your cheeks as you watch these once-human prey being now one of the most sought-after wildlife creatures, Thanks! to the great work of conservation championed by Dian Fossey.

Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a grand, remarkable, and memorable African adventure as you move through misty mountain forests with tangled vegetation, steep, slippery slopes, and chilly weather, until you meet the gorillas. The forest offers an unmatched ambiance as you marvel at nature's wonders. The scents, sights, and sounds, plus trails past stunning waterways and flora, make the tracking experience a moment of greatness, a story worth telling after your safari.

Mountain Gorillas are one of the world's endangered species, with their population estimated at 1,000 (which indicates positive conservation efforts, great, isn't it?). They are members of the world's Great Apes, along with orangutans and chimpanzees. They are a subspecies of the Eastern Gorillas.
They (mountain Gorillas) are found in two groups, one in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park situated in the Southwestern part of Uganda, and the Second group found in Virunga Volcanoes, a physical land-form spreading across three countries i.e. Rwanda, D.R of Congo and Uganda with the subsequent areas protected as national parks in the countries they are found.

Gorillas live in structured groups called families, with each family having about 5 to 8 individuals, led by a dominant Silverback. These groups are habituated to human presence so visitors can see them.

If you want to see the Gorillas, there are two forms/ types of safaris to encounter them; you can either decide to go on a normal Gorilla Tracking Safari program, which can last just a few hours, and once you meet the Gorillas in the forest, you are allowed 1 hour in their presence. Similarly, one can opt for an adventurous Gorilla Habituation Experience where you follow researchers on a full-day activity of habituating and monitoring the gorillas, and once you meet them, unlike on a normal tracking safari, here you are allowed 4 hours with/ in the presence of the Gorillas.

Whoever encounters the Gorillas never remains the same, it's epic!, It's stunning. Journey with us through the African wilderness, trek through the jungles of Bwindi and Volcanoes National Parks, to watch the Gorillas in the Mist.

Gorilla Habituation Experience in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

The Gorilla Habituation Experience is a form of experiential tourism introduced by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in 2014 to give visitors an in-depth understanding of mountain gorillas .  The Gorilla Habituation Experience gives visitors more time to see gorillas than gorilla tracking, and allows 4 hours in their presence. In contrast, on a normal gorilla tracking safari, once visitors meet the Gorillas, they are only allowed one hour to watch them.
