Uganda Gorilla Tracking

Uganda Gorilla Tracking is done in Bwindi Impenetrable National park located south western part of Uganda: It is a humbling experience, tracking the close-to-humans as they eat, rest, play and bond with their young ones.The tracking starts at 8:30am daily. Tours are limited to a maximum of eight people and visitors spend a maximum of one hour in the company of the gorillas in order to minimize behavioral disturbance and risk of disease transmission.

Uganda Gorilla Tracking exposes you a populations about 400 Gorilla in population and about 116 gorillas habituated and tracked by the visitors. Gorillas are intelligent, majestic, gentle giants that share over 90% of their genetic material with humans. All of Bwindi’s habituated gorillas are known individually by the rangers and have been given names in order to identify them. The males can weigh more than 500lb and some silver-backs exceed 6ft!

Located in southwestern Uganda on the edge of the Rift Valley. Its mist-covered hillsides are blanketed by one of Uganda’s oldest and most biologically diverse rain-forests, which dates back over 25,000 years and contains almost 400 species of plants. More famously, this “impenetrable forest” also protects an estimated 320 mountain gorillas – roughly half of the world’s population, including several habituated groups, which can be tracked.
