What is the best time to visit Uganda for gorilla tracking?
Uganda’s climate allows for year-round activities, but the dry seasons (December-February and June-September) offer easier trekking conditions. However, gorilla tracking is available throughout the year in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
How many gorilla permits are available per day?
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park offers 96 gorilla permits per day across its four sectors (Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo), while Mgahinga Gorilla National Park offers 8 permits daily for the Nyakagezi family.
How long does gorilla tracking take?
Gorilla tracking can take anywhere from 2-8 hours depending on the location of the gorilla families. Once found, you’ll spend one hour with the gorillas. The trek involves hiking through dense forest terrain.
What wildlife can I see besides mountain gorillas?
Uganda hosts over 77 mammal species including elephants, lions, leopards, chimpanzees, tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth Park, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and over 1,000 bird species including the rare Shoebill stork.
Do you offer budget safari options?
