Uganda is one of the top safari destinations for gorilla tours in Africa. This beautiful country presents fantastic wildlife safari and tour opportunities and the chance to do Gorilla Trekking. Given the fact that Uganda is home to more than half of the remaining 700 mountain gorillas in the world, Uganda is arguably the most exciting tourist destination for mountain gorilla tours as well as several other wildlife encounters in Africa.
Gorilla trekking ultimately stands out as Africa's top adventure activity especially in Bwindi impenetrable forest national park, the renowned tropical rainforest that habours several other primates, mammals and birds.
Jewel safaris offers several gorilla tours taking you into the jungles of not only Bwindi Forest but also in the Mgahinga, Parc National des Volcans in Rwanda and Virunga National Park in Congo. Our gorilla tours range from short 3 Days Gorilla Treks to multiple gorilla trekking trips in Uganda, Rwanda and Congo. Not miss on your African holiday are other adventure activities in Uganda that include chimpanzee tracking, wildlife safaris, mountain trekking and cultural tours or vacation.
Uganda offers various opportunities for primates lovers. Apart from gorilla tracking, a privilege for any visitor visiting this fascinating country, Uganda offers 3 locations to track wild chimpanzees in Uganda. Primates are also exceptionally well represented in Uganda, with a check list that presently includes 13 diurnal and 6 nocturnal species.
Wildlife Safaris
Uganda is truly a safari country and a Uganda Safari is one of the best adventures one can take in Africa. Apart from Uganda primates like gorillas, chimpanzees and monkeys, there are amazing Savannah parks such as Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Park that have made incredible wildlife diversity. The impressive wildlife numbers in Uganda's national parks present wonderful opportunities to tourists interested in game viewing/wildlife tours. Uganda's parks are now full of game including vast herds of elephants, hundreds of hippos, giraffe, climbing lions and even leopards. From Queen Elizabeth national Park, you can take a ride along the Kazinga Channel in the shadow of the Ruwenzori Mountains, as you watch elephants drink from the nearby shore and hundreds of hippos relax in the shallows.
Gorillas are sub divided into Lowland gorillas and mountain gorillas. Mountain gorillas are endemic to the regions of the borders of Uganda, Rwanda and Congo. There are currently just over 700 mountain gorillas left in the wild thanks to an aggressive campaign by wildlife conservations and the efforts of the above mentioned three countries.
When tracking gorillas, visitors are required to wear sturdier clothing to protect them against stinging nettles, and solid walking shoes. A hat and sunglasses provide protection against the sun, and a waterproof jacket may come in handy in the moist mountains More on gorill tracking...
