The highlight is trekking with mountain gorillas, a rare wildlife encounter that is also available in Rwanda. Uganda offers chimp trekking, bird watching, other primate experiences, and traditional safaris to see the Big Five animals: elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, elephant, and rhino, in addition to gorillas.
Gorilla trekking in Uganda
Uganda is the ideal destination for mountain gorilla trekking enthusiasts. Currently, the only other country where one may hike with these gentle giants is Rwanda, and permits in Uganda cost around half as much as those across the border. In addition to gorilla trekking, Uganda offers a wide variety of other activities. The nation is home to several primates, and Kibale National Park provides fantastic opportunities for bird watching, chimpanzee trekking and other primate experiences. A variety of big game animals such as lions, buffalo, giraffes and elephants and several antelopes, can be seen during game drives in Kidepo Valley National Park, Murchison Falls National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park.
For travellers who are interested in natural history and active vacations, the land is especially picturesque and offers a lot. Gorilla trekking, Uganda’s main attraction, attracts a lot of tourists each year who come to see and interact with the gorillas. Two Ugandan national parks, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, now offer gorilla trekking, bird watching and other primate experiences. The two national parks are located in southwest Uganda, some distance from the country’s capital, Kampala.
Accessing gorilla trekking destinations in Uganda
You can go to these parks by flight, taking around two hours to get from Entebbe International Airport to Kihihi or Kisoro Airstrip. Alternatively, you can drive there, taking about nine hours. Since it only takes four hours to drive from Kigali International Airport to Bwindi Forest National Park, some people find it easier to access Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park or Mgahinga Forest National Park using this route. In addition to gorillas, Bird watching, Golden Monkeys, Chimpanzees, and other primate experiences may be found in both Bwindi and Mgahinga Gorilla National Parks, which are included as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
You will only be able to witness these species for an hour when gorilla trekking; however, if you would like to spend more time in the forest with the gorillas, you can choose the four-hour gorilla habituation experience. In Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, the Rushaga and Nkuringo sections offer gorilla acclimatisation experiences.
There are a few things to think about while making reservations for your luxury gorilla trekking in Uganda, and one of those things is the upscale gorilla permit. The perks of obtaining a luxury gorilla trekking permit in advance include the ability to trek the gorilla family on your own, with your spouse or partner, and to have your private range. This implies that to enjoy these luxury gorilla trekking excursions, you will have to pay the cost for the eight people. Since each gorilla ticket is only granted to eight individuals, you will be able to visit the gorilla family by yourself if you want to use the gorilla trekking permit alone.
To exercise this right, you must obtain a gorilla permit from the Ugandan government. Once this is done, we would be pleased to provide you with the permit, allowing you to easily experience this safari to the fullest.
Accommodation choices
When organising a luxury gorilla trekking experience in Uganda, you should also take into account the availability of luxurious lodging options. You will have to book a room at the Higher End Lodge and find lodging in and around Mgahinga Gorilla National Park or Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park to participate in this safari. High-end lodges in the vicinity of these parks include Cloud Mountain Lodge, Gorilla Heights Lodge, Trackers Lodge, Nkuringo Bwindi Lodge, Four Gorilla Lodge, Mahogany Spring Lodge, and others.
Gahinga Lodge and Lake Mulehe Safari Lodge are additional accommodations for guests. They provide upscale amenities that you would not want to miss during your luxurious gorilla trekking in Uganda, and they start at $500 per person per day. Furthermore, if you choose to use upscale private transportation, the 4×4 Land Cruiser safari will offer the best service.
Safety Measures
Safety is a must, whereby the Ugandan police, working with the tourism police, will provide private protection services for our luxury gorilla trekking experience in Uganda. These will provide you with the best protection for the duration of your trip plans and the fascinating and amazing safari experience. In addition, you will need assistance during the journey in case you need urgent medical attention or first aid, among other things. This will help make the upscale Ugandan trekking safari trip a success.
