UGANDA GORILLA SAFARIS / GORILLA TRACKING TOURS
Meeting the mountain gorillas in the wild is such a memorable and thrilling nature adventure that can only be carried out on a Ugandan Safari! With only about 700 mountain gorillas left in the mountainous region that straddles Uganda, Rwanda and Congo ( more than half residing in Bwindi Impenetrable forest National Park) mountain gorilla tracking is worthy taking!. Given that only a few have been habituated for humans to visit, tracking these elusive apes is both a privilege and indeed an exhilarating safari adventure! Abacus African Vacations offers you the opportunity to visit and track the Mountain Gorillas (Gorilla Berengei) in their natural habitat with in Bwindi Gorilla Forest, Mgahinga gorilla national park and Parc des Volcans (PNV) in Rwanda. Gorilla trekking is not only a unique safari adventure but also interesting, moving and rewarding experience of a lifetime. Trekking through the rain forests, following the trail of the wandering primates, spotting their night nests, finding fresh gorilla spoor before catching a first glimpse of the gorillas is awe- inspiring on any Uganda Safari. Visit the mountain gorillas living in the dense rain forest that covers the Virunga Mountains where Rwanda, Uganda and Congo meet with us. Be prepared to hike through some rugged country, steep hills, and tangled vines. Discovering that you are sitting only five metres from a gorilla in the undergrowth is a spine-tingling experience.
