Gorilla Trekking - Uganda Up close & personal with the primates. A Gorilla Trek within the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a highlight of all visits done in Uganda and certainly mountain gorillas are the major reason as to why very many people visit Uganda. On the other hand, Uganda is recognized as a very safe and more so secure country in which you can see these Gorillas in serene surroundings. The endangered impressive Mountain Gorillas in Uganda don’t live in any zoo across the planet since they cannot survive in detention and thus there aren’t any known mountain gorillas surviving within zoos. These can only be found and seen in Africa, in just three countries including Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. There are approximately 786 Mountain Gorillas remaining in the world with approximately half of them staying in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest plus the Mgahinga Gorilla Park within Uganda found in East Africa.

There are more than seven hundred and eighty six mountain gorillas in the whole world. Uganda hold close to half of their total population, and the majority of them live in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, whereas the others are found in Mgahinga Gorilla Park, however these at times cross over to Rwanda. Fortunately the Gorillas are growing in numbers because of the protection they are offered from the government of Uganda, which also included efforts of the adjacent communities to the parks to whom part of the fee for the Gorilla tracking permits charged from foreign visitors to Mgahinga as well as Bwindi is offered.

Mountain Gorilla Description: Usually the Males are two times the size of the females, they may grow to 6ft. tall and even weigh 350 -500 pounds. These are strong, with long arms and muscular. The males are referred to as the silverback because as they mature the hair on their back turns somewhat silver, hence the name Silverbacks. The strength of the males is ten times stronger compared to the strongest boxer, even taking steroids. The arms of silverbacks can stretch to 7 feet, Mountain Gorillas possess longer plus darker hair compared to their lowland counterparts because they stay in colder climates and higher altitudes. Their life span is between 40 and 50 years. The mountain gorillas mainly stay on the ground although they will climb a tree occasionally given that it can support them, however just like children, their young play in the trees. A fascinating fact is that Gorillas and Humans share 98% of their genetic composition. Mountain Gorilla Home and Diet: Uganda has two places where these Mountain Gorillas may be seen; one is Mgahinga Gorilla Park; a stunning park and a component of the Virunga chain of towering volcanoes that extend into the DRC and Rwanda, and then in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest supports the hugest Population of Mountain Gorilla. It is an ancient forest also called the “Place of Darkness.” The tree cover makes it very dark within this forest. The forest’s altitudes are between 1,160m and 2,607m above sea level. The Bwindi plus Mgahinga each possess varying characteristics as well as similarities. The Bwindi isn’t an extinct volcanic region while the Mgahinga is. Mgahinga Gorilla Park sits on higher altitudes and the Mountain Gorillas move up and feed on some of the afro-montane vegetation. Typically Mountain Gorillas eat large quantities of flowers, leaves, fruit, roots, bamboo and shoots in season. The Adults can consume up to 75 pounds each day. The day of a Mountain Gorilla starts at 6am up to 6pm with a snooze around lunchtime. Uganda receives Light just past 6am and darkness falls around 7pm. These move every day to different locations where they make nests using twigs plus leaves and spend their night. Some people have found these reasonably comfortable, just enough to actually slumber in. Mountain Gorilla Behaviour: Visitors into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest frequently inquire if mountain gorillas are dangerous? Although dominant and very strong, these are gentle as well as shy, and in addition the mountain gorillas that visitors see within Uganda have been habituated. In other words they are habituated to people, which process that takes close to 2 years. Dian Fossey actually was against the idea of visiting mountain gorillas which is done today, however it’s the money collected that survival of this endangered species, and seen their number increase over the recent years. While mountain gorillas are threatened they do attack so as to protect their very own. When different Mountain Gorilla groups meet, there is a fight between the leader Silverbacks to death. Mountain gorillas exist in groups, which differ in size from 2 – 30 or 40, however commonly in groups of 10. There is no specific mating season while babies are born through the year. The Males begin breeding at around 15 years while the females start giving birth between 10 and 12 years. Females can give birth after every 2 to 3 years giving birth to 4 – 6 offspring through their lifetime. Males leave their group at about 11 years of age, while a little over half of the females will leave their group. Mountain gorillas communicate through sounds and researchers currently have documented roars, grunts and shouts, and 25 sounds Mountain Gorilla Predators: The supreme threat to the Mountain Gorillas is human encroachment for settlement around them. Previously there was a slash as well as burn mentality however, through an educational program by the Uganda Wildlife Authority plus cash motivation to the community through the tourism industry that the gorillas within Uganda are today no longer as threatened by various poachers as it was in the DRC.

National Parks & Game Reserves During the tour we spend time in some for the best National Parks & Game Reverse in Africa. Spread across Africa from Southern Africa up into East Africa and the Serengeti & Masai Mara.

Khama Rhino Sanctuary – Botswana In response to declining rhinoceros populations in Botswana, the residents of Serowe, which is the birthplace of the first president of Botswana – Seretsi Khama establish the 4300-hectare sanctuary in 1989. Today the last remaining rhinos reside in the Sanctuary. It is also home to zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, impala, kudu, eland, ostriches, hyenas, leopards and over 230 species of birds

Okavango Delta - Botswana The 1430Km Okavango River rises in central Angola, and then flows southeast across Namibia’s Caprivi Strip before entering Botswana east of Shakawe. There, 18.5 billion cu metres of water annually spread and sprawl like an open palm across the flat landscape as they’re consumed by the thirsty air and swallowed by the Kalahari sands. Eventually, the river loses itself in a 16,000-sq-km maze of lagoons, channels and islands. In this desert country, the incongruous waters of the resulting wetland attract myriad birds and other wildlife

Chobe National Park – Botswana Chobe National Park, which encompasses 11,000–sq-km, is home to Botswana’s most varied wildlife. The riverfront strip along the northern tier, with its perennial water supply, supports the greatest wildlife concentration; large herds of Elephants regularly are seen swimming from the island to the mainland. Grazing Buffalo and the ever-watching hippo’s are at home as they amble onto dry land to feed in the afternoons. Different species of birdlife are seen especially from the comfort of the boat safari on the Chobe River.

Serengeti National Park - Tanzania Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed a 7th world wide wonder, the Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thompson Gazelles join the 2 million blue wildebeest as they head towards the Masai Mara in the neighboring Kenya Apart from the Migration the Serengeti is great to spot herds of Buffalo, small groups of elephants and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, impala and Grant’s gazelles

Mount Manyara National Park- Tanzania Contrasting with the intimacy of the forest is the grassy floodplain and its expansive views eastward, across the alkaline lake, to the jagged blue volcanic peaks that rise from the endless Maasai Steppes. Large buffalo, wildebeest and zebra herds congregate on these grassy plains. A narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favoured haunt for the famous tree climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants. Squadrons of banded mongoose dart between the trees, while the diminutive Kirk’s dik-dik forage in their shade. Klipspringers are often seen silhouetted on the rocks above a field of searing hot springs.

Masai Mara Game Reserve – Kenya The Masai Mara is considered by some as one of the best Game Reserves in the world. The Mara comprises open plains, woodlands and riverside forests. The immrnse grasslands are scattered with herds of zebra, giraffe, gazelles and topi. The Acacis forest abound with birdlife and monkeys. Elephants and buffalo wallow in the wide Musiara swamps. With the migration in full swing from the Serengeti, large numbers of preditors like lions, hyenas and other bigs cats follow the moving herds of wildebeests.

Amboseli National Park – Kenya Located on the foot of Africa’s highest mountain, 5895-metre Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is one of kenya’s most popular National Parks. The park embodies five main wildlife habitats, open plains, acacia woodlands, rocky thorn bush country, swamps and marshlands. It also covers part of a pleistocene lake basin, now dry. Famous for its big game and its scenic beauty. With sixty-five species of mammals including babbons, vervet monkey, lion, cheetah, elephant, zebra, hippo, black rhino, Maasai Oryx, willdebeest, gerennuk, impala and gazelles.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park - Uganda Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is located in the southwestern part of Uganda on the rim of the Rift Valley. The hillsides, which are mist-covered, are sheltered by one of the ancient and very biologically varied rainforests in Uganda that dates back to more than 25,000 years, comprising of about 400 varied plant species. More notably, this “impenetrable forest” in addition protects a predictable 320 population of mountain gorillas – approximately half of the population in the world, among which are a number of habituated groups that can be tracked by visitors.

Lake Nakuru – Kenya Lake Nakuru is a very shallow strongly alkaline lake 62 km2 in extent. It is set in a picturesque landscape of surrounding woodland and grasslands. Famous for its vast numbers of bright pink flamingoes as far as the eyes can see. When conditions are right between one and two million lesser and greater flamingoes feed around the shores of the shallow waters. Other birds like pelicans and cormorants are in abundance too, as well as over 400 other species of birds. Lions, Black Rhino, Buffalo and other smaller animals can also be found.

Lake Naivasha - Kenya The freshwater lake forms part of the Great Rift Valley. The name derives from the Maasai name ”Nai’posha” meaning “Rough Water” because of the sudden storms, which can arise here. The Lake is home to some 400 species of birds and large numbers of Hippos. Fish Eagles can be clearly seen and heard from the waters edge as they fly down to fish. Waterbuck, Giraffe and other plains game are spotted along the shores of the lake.

OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY You may well think, ‘well what harm or good will I have as one individual', But remember –Every Little Bit Helps. What is gone today or tomorrow is gone for good, so let’s help preserve it for those in the future as well. Litter – Is to be disposed of in an appropriate manner in the appropriate places, especially Non-biodegradable products (even if this means carrying it with us). Water - Be resourceful with water, from drinking it through to washing with or in it. Remember we are just passing through, but the local people and wildlife live there and in many cases they use the same water source and have to walk long distances to collect it, (often very few houses have running water). Therefore if the local supply runs dry they will have even further to travel to collect it. This applies even in campsites, hostels and hotels. Protection - Look after and preserve the areas we visit. From walking on coral reefs to driving Off-Road on undesignated areas or tracks you are damaging delicate Eco-systems that have taken many years to mature and in some cases are irreparable. It also gives the impression to others that if one person is doing it then they can as well, whereas in fact it will lead to future generations not being able to enjoy it at all. Purchases - Be aware of the harm and danger of buying endangered wildlife and fauna i.e. from coral, cacti and butterflies through to obvious items such as non-authorised ivory and rhino horn. Apart from the fact of it being illegal it also encourages the thieves and poachers to continue their trade - if there are no buyers there is no market. Fires - Dispose of matches and cigarettes properly and carefully - bush fires occur extremely easily. Try and use alternative fuels where possible i.e. gas, this will help preserve scarce wood and charcoal supplies. Respect - Respect the local customs and beliefs of the peoples in the different regions that you travel through, i.e. many local peoples beliefs regarding photographs - be polite ask first. The attitudes regarding dress codes (particularly in Middle Eastern countries), common sense clothing will stop a lot of hassle and aggravation; this applies to men as well as women. The strict code regarding many religious and festival events i.e. Ramadan (these do not necessarily apply to foreigners - but it is polite and respectful to abide or at least be aware of them and it may well give you a different perspective and understanding on the local culture and people).
