Uganda
offers a chance to witness the splendid spectacles of nature, gorillas. Due to
the high population of gorillas, Uganda is very popular destination to go for a
mountain gorilla trekking.
Why Go For A Trekking
Adventure
Among
all the destinations in Uganda, you will see plentiful mountain gorillas in
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. These critically endangered species
are estimated around 700 individuals. As you can’t see them in a zoo, you
should go for a trekking expedition to explore them in their natural habitat.
Mountain Gorilla
Trekking In Uganda
A
gorilla trekking in the mountaineous forest of Uganda involves a few hours of
hiking along the narrow footpaths and also walking through the dense forest
area. Therefore, you should be fit in health for walking a long distance and
even tour guides will give you opportunities to take plentiful breaks and
properly adjust in a tough environment. As a hiking enthusiast, I suggest you to
bring broken-in-hiking boots to protect your ankles, double layered socks (with
Cotton Inners and Thick Outers) and knee-high gaiters.
Perfect Time To Trek
In Uganda
The
best time to visit the rainforests in Uganda is during two dry seasons. The
first dry season starts from the middle of December to the end of February and
the second one starts from beginning of June to late September. These two
seasons are quite comfortable time for trekking expedition. But the climate
condition will be still humid and wet with plentiful mud particles; so you
don’t forget to bring your gaiters. Excluding the travelling distance,
discomfort level of high humidity and trekking level, the chances to encounter
these rare species are approximately 90%.
Last Word
Mountain
gorillas are on the edge of extinction; so the trekking is regulated carefully.
Even, the permits are a bit costly. So travelling to such remote destinations and
ensuring the best chances for a successful trekking expedition requires a
personalized experience and local knowledge; that you will get from Uganda Safari Experts. You will get
