What kind of an experience is gorilla trekking?
An experience known as gorilla trekking is going on a hike with a guide through thick rainforest in order to spend time with a specific gorilla group in the setting in which it would be found in the wild. The moment you get to spend time with one of these peaceful yet awe-inspiring creatures will forever change you. The Gorilla Trekking Tour starts off with a hike into the thick rainforest with an experienced guide in search of gorillas. The culmination of this hike will be an observation of a gorilla family in their natural habitat. One hour is the maximum time that visitors are permitted to spend in the company of gorillas. Any visitor who wants to go closer to a gorilla group is normally permitted to do so only to a distance of 7 meters. Nonetheless, because of the widespread Covid 19 outbreak, the required distance has been increased to 10 meters. Because their DNA is around 96% similar to that of people, gorillas are highly susceptible to contracting any disease that affects humans.

Where in Africa should one travel to have the highest chance of viewing silverback gorillas?
Lowland gorillas live in the forests of central and western Africa in Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Mountain gorillas call the green, volcanic Virunga Conservation area home. This area includes Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mgahinga National Park in Uganda, and Bwindi National Park in Uganda.

Are gorillas with silverbacks dangerous to humans?
In general, gorillas are mighty creatures that are also kind and kind to humans. Those who antagonize them, however, run the risk of being attacked and injured by them. The silverback has the ability to respond by letting out loud roars, banging its chest, and charging towards the person who has offended him. Gorillas are wild animals that can become dangerous if they are mishandled or feel threatened, despite the fact that they are known for being peaceful and kind. Attacks on humans by gorillas are exceedingly uncommon but can only be caused by their natural impulse to defend themselves.

When is the most pleasant time of year to travel to Uganda?
Conditions for tracking gorillas and chimpanzees are ideal during the dry seasons, which run from June to August and from December to February. During this season, game drives and game viewing are also at their best. Nonetheless, the remainder of the months are also pleasant, despite the fact that heavy rains can cause some hardships. During this slower time of year, gorilla and chimpanzee permits, as well as accommodations at safari lodges, are sometimes discounted.
What exactly is meant by the term “gorilla habituation experience”?
The term “Gorilla Habituation Experience,” or “GHE,” refers to the process of gradually exposing a wild gorilla family to the presence of humans. In the interest of conservation tourism, researchers start by studying a gorilla species, then they treat any illnesses the gorillas may have and safeguard them from poachers. At the moment, there are two gorilla families that are being habituated; their names are Bukyingi and Bushaho, and they are both located in the Rushaga Sector of southern Bwindi. Each group has thus far spent between three and five years through the successful management of an experienced research team, conservationists, and game rangers in order to complete the habituation process. Game rangers spend a portion of each day interacting with gorillas by inching their way closer to them over the course of the day. This approach will continue until the gorillas are quite comfortable with the presence of humans, which will eventually lead to them becoming accessible to tourists. So, the Gorilla Habituation Experience introduces visitors to the gorillas that are the subject of the study in the hopes of socializing them into more approachable animals.
Because the funds collected from this activity are used to promote the survival of these monkeys, a tourist who participates in the Gorilla habituation Experience is seen as someone who totally supports conservation efforts. A visitor is able to spend a whole day in the company of gorillas as part of the Gorilla Habituation Experience. As a result, the tourist is able to participate in all activities that are associated with gorillas, which ultimately results in an incredible wildlife encounter.
How Challenging Is It to Wander the Gorillas in Uganda?
A mountain gorilla trip in Rwanda is something that almost anyone with a passable level of fitness should be able to enjoy to their full potential. In most cases, the obstacles are presented in the form of difficult terrain and high levels of humidity. The jungle canopy’s snares and its overall thickness can also become rather difficult to navigate. Despite this, the guides always use machetes to cut paths through the dense forest that surrounds the trail.
The Sabyinyo, Agashya, Kwitonda, and Hirwa gorilla families, on the other hand, present less of a challenge to the vast majority of tourists. Tracing a gorilla group in Rwanda might take tourists between 2 – 5 hours depending on the location of the gorilla groups.

There is a bit of a discussion about where to go for Gorilla trekking and many inquire whether to go trekking in Uganda or Rwanda. What isn’t debatable however is the clear fact that mountain Gorillas are only found in the Virunga mountains – shared between Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo and comprised of Mgahinga National Park, Volcanoes National Park, and Virunga National Park as well as Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park which is famously known to possess more than half of the entire world’s mountain Gorilla population.

The selection of where to go trekking with these calm giants comes down to a lot of considerations including time, finance, and supporting logistics. Rwanda Gorilla trekking is believed to be easier because the gorillas are usually seen after just a few hours of trekking but the altitude is higher so you still need to be somewhat fit and considering that Volcanoes is a mountainous park, it is ascending from the start. The landscape and clearing though is more open which provides for greater gorilla observation and photography when you discover them.

Mgahinga National Park on the Ugandan side of the mountain has only one habituated gorilla family that visitors can observe — the Nyakagezi group and consequently not many people like it. Uganda Gorilla trekking generally takes place at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with up to 20 habituated gorilla families to date. Being a dense tropical rainforest, it can rain at any time in Bwindi even in the dry months and there are no trails so the trek can be more challenging and when the gorillas are feeding in the bushy areas, it might be a bit difficult to take clear pictures and your gorilla watching experience might be slightly impacted.

Gorilla trekking in Congo takes place at Virunga National Park which is Africa’s oldest national park with unrivaled biodiversity but safety is an issue because of the recent tourist kidnappings and the constant instabilities in Eastern Congo which scares away many tourists. Congo Gorilla trekking is usually combined with a visit to Mt. Nyiragongo – an active Volcano with the world’s largest lava lake. Trekking in Congo and visiting Nyiragongo is a massive, overwhelming experience but safety is still a big concern and the activities are usually on and off because there are many uncertainties which makes planning a trip to Congo difficult – but we always do our best to help.

Logistically, Rwanda is a clean and safe country with high-end facilities and a good road network so it mainly targets high-end tourists because a Gorilla permit costs $1,500 compared to $700 in Uganda and $400 for Congo. When it comes down to price, Uganda is an absolute winner because the country is safe with diverse, moderately priced facilities and a good road network but the distances between points are longer so you spend more time in the vehicle.

Because of the instability in Congo, the challenges are many and it is very advisable to stay in Gisenyi on the Rwandan side of the border and only crossover to take part in the activities. Mountain gorilla trekking is an incredible, life-changing experience so it will really not matter much where you do it; you will still be contributing to their survival and you will live with the experience your entire life! Let us help you plan.

Best Time of year; when to go Gorilla trekking?

Having made a choice of where to go for Gorilla trekking in Africa, this is probably the first thing that comes to mind when planning the next steps. Thanks to its pleasant temperatures, Uganda is a year-round destination – same for Rwanda and Congo. But, of course, peak and low seasons can make a world of a difference when taking crowds and budget into consideration. Generally speaking, December/January through to February, and from June through to mid-September are peak tourist seasons thanks to the drier climate. However, if you’re looking to go on a budget safari, then consider traveling during the wetter time of the year. The most rain falls in October-November and April-May, and you might see quite a drop in the cost of going on a safari in Uganda and Rwanda, but this doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to enjoy it. Low season means fewer crowds and more wildlife viewing.
Gorilla Trekking Uganda Cost

While planning your Uganda gorilla trekking safari, you may wonder what is included in the total quoted cost. Its therefore important to note that the following items are included in the Gorilla tours;

Gorilla trekking Permit – The gorilla trekking permit costs $600 per person per trek, and this is normally included in the total cost for the Gorilla Safaris we offer.
Accommodation and meals – The cost for the lodging is also one of the major things that determine the total cost for your tour. There are three categories of lodges, budget, Mid-range and luxury, each having its own price range. All the lodges we offer for our gorilla safaris are ensuite and are booked according to the sector where the gorilla trekking is to be done.

Gorilla Trekking Uganda Vs Rwanda

The Gorilla trekking activity in Uganda and Rwanda is similar, however there are other factors before and after the trek which one can look at before determining where they should do there gorilla trek from as follows: For starters the Gorilla trekking permit for Rwanda costs $1500 USD while that of Uganda costs $600 USD, this therefore creates a very big difference between the total cost for the Gorilla safari in both countries.

The drive time from Kigali Rwanda’s capital city to Parc national des volcans where the Rwanda mountain gorillas are found is only two hours, while the drive from Kampala Uganda’s capital to Bwindi impenetrable national park is over 8 hours and thus very tiring. These days however you can land in Kigali and drive to Uganda for gorilla trekking in Bwindi.

According to the 2018 census, its estimated that about 1000 mountain gorillas are left in the world with the population increasing ever since the conservation efforts where started. In Uganda, gorilla trekking can be done in Bwindi and Mgahinga Gorilla national park.
