Gorilla Trekking The Poignant Experience
Nestled within the eastern part of Africa, Uganda is one of the lucky landlocked countries with a lot of interesting features. When you take a safari to Uganda, you get to witness the reality behind the Pearl of Africa. For those interested in Uganda holidays, the choice of what to see may be a little challenging because the wonders in the country are may and yet inn most cases, many African safari travellers have less time.
Gorilla Trekking in Uganda is one of the sought after activities that is can only be done in Bwindi National park, Mgahinga national park, Parc national des Volcans, and DR Congo. These are the exceptional places that can accommodate this activity in the entire world. Gorillas are huge apes with sunken brown eyes and live peacefully. They are headed by a silver back which is the dominant male with a silver grey lining of fur on its back.
Before the Uganda Safari to the Mountain gorilla land, you need to prepare for this expedition. Make advance booking for your Gorilla trekking permits because they are highly demanded and are on a first come first serve basis. Most people book them at least 6 months before there arrival date to avoid missing out on the chance of seeing these apes. A point to note is that you have to book with a credible Uganda Tour operator because may people may not deliver.
On the day of tracking the gorillas, you need to rise up early in the morning and head to the Gorilla tracking briefing centre. Your ranger guide will explain to you about the Gorillas and how to behave in front of them without causing them any problem. You will later be led by an armed ranger guide into the forest to star searching for the huge, gentle eyed Mountain gorillas. The time you take to track these apes is unpredictable because they keep moving as they search for food. When you get to them, spend just an hour with them and avoid any thing that may cause them rage because they may turn against you. Also remember they are wild animals so touching them may not be a good idea.
Come back to your lodge and relax or you may for a community walk in the close by villages.
