Kyaguriro Gorilla Family splits.

After Kyaguriro gorilla family separates into two groups one headed by Mukiza, one of the silver back-in-Kyaguriro, Ruhija side of Bwindi Impenetrable will soon have four gorilla families accessible for hiking. Uganda Willdlife Authority, in charge of tourism and preservation of all wildlife in National Parks, will have to determine if the new gorilla family will be dubbed Mukiza.

Originally set aside for study, Kyaguriro gorilla family on Eastern side of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park was opened for gorilla trekking as demand for gorilla permits grew. We added Kyaguriro as the third gorilla group from the two Bitukura and Oruzogo families. Should the Kyaguriro gorilla family divide into two groups, we will then have four groups, therefore raising the daily permit sales from 24 to 32 for this area.

Though Uganda’s wildlife Authority has not been verified, the conflict began in December 2015 when the two silverbacks clashed and separated briefly before reuniting not too far apart. After another conflict later in January 2016, Mukiza grabbed ten members away from the main family to establish a second gorilla family headed by him.

Though they have not met or bonded during the last three months, these two gorilla families are now living closer to one another. They are still under observation; should this separation prove permanent, a new gorilla family will be recognized and might be formally introduced for gorilla trekking.

When the Kyaguriro gorilla family breaks up?

The breakup of Kyaguriro gorilla family implies that additional gorilla permits will be accessible for purchase, therefore increasing the number of visitors presently walking on Ruhija side. Lodges will so gain from the higher number of visitors, which results in more bed nights.

Your updates on whether this separation will be permanent or temporary will come from Katland safaris. Should it become permanent, it will be given a name still in development. Should you need more information, kindly get in touch with us; Katland safaris is still among the most knowledgeable gorilla trekking companies in East Africa.

Best time to film mountain gorillas.

Though in this post we will mostly be focused on the optimum time to film mountain gorillas in either Uganda, Rwanda, or Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and Rwanda are clearly the two finest locations to do so worldwide.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Volcanoes National Park, and Virunga National Park in Uganda, Rwanda, and Democratic Republic of Congo Respectively include habitatuated gorilla families. Operating in Uganda and Rwanda, Katland safaris will therefore concentrate on these two nations while considering the optimal timing for mountain gorilla filming.

When should mountain gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda be filmed?

June, July, August, September, December, January, and February are the ideal times to capture mountain gorillas for those movie firms looking at drier months. Rainfall is minimal throughout these months, hence climbing and descending either Uganda or Rwanda is much simpler than in rainy seasons of March, April, May, or November.

Please be advised that while we recommend dry months as the ideal time to shoot mountain gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda, there is no assurance that it won’t rain. For instance, the tropical rain forest nature of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park affects its microclimate by means of winds, moisture on top of the forest, and human activity. This means that even in the usual dry seasons, it often rains.

Low season months will be the finest choice when considering the expenses to be paid while timing filming mountain gorillas. As advised by Uganda Wildlife Authority and Rwanda Development Board, all film crew members are obliged to get gorilla permits on top of the gorilla shooting cost for the group as whole.

If one films mountain gorillas in low season/rainy seasons of April, May and November, then you stand to save on the expenses of gorilla licenses as they are now reduced USD450.00 compared to high season pricing of USD800.00 per permit,. In Rwanda, a gorilla permit is USD 750.00 per person; there is no variation here.

Expert filming company Katland Safaris has assisted many filming teams in obtaining filming permits for mountain gorillas and other wildlife, processing media cards and clearing their kit into Uganda among other logistics including transport and accommodation booking anywhere in Uganda and Rwanda.
