Bwindi safari activities 2024-2025.

Great gorilla trekking in Uganda is in store for 2024 and 2025, and this piece will focus on safari activities in Bwindi, the home of almost half of the world’s mountain gorillas. When planning a trip to Uganda, one of the top destinations to see habituated mountain gorilla families is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

Virunga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda’s Mgahinga National Park, and Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park are all great places to see mountain gorillas. Even though mountain gorillas are the main attraction in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, there are plenty of other things to do there that will keep you occupied for days. Listed here are just a few of the many Bwindi safari activities available to you.

 

As an option for your Bwindi safari, you may go gorilla trekking.

Gorilla trekking is a popular activity in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. When the first gorilla family became accustomed and allowed visitors in 1993, the program began. Because they were the first gorilla family to be habituated, the Mubare gorilla family in Buhoma, northern Bwindi, is a must-visit for anybody interested in the history of gorilla trekking in the formidable and impenetrable Bwindi.

Gorilla habituation in the southern section of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park permits you to see and photograph a family of habituated mountain gorillas for up to four hours, in contrast to the one hour allowed during gorilla trekking.

An individual must pay USD1500.00 for non-resident foreigners and USD1000.00 for working-permit foreigners in order to see a gorilla family during habituation; the maximum number of persons permitted per visit is four. If you are planning a gorilla safari vacation in 2024 or 2025, and would want more information about the habituation experience and the activities offered by Bwindi, you can get in touch with Katland Safaris.

 

Bwindi safari activities include hikes through forests and to waterfalls

As one may expect from a tropical rainforest, the scenery along any given path in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is quite breathtaking. The Uganda Wildlife Authority has laid up a network of routes across the forest that visitors may use to explore the area’s top attractions.

Forest treks at Buhoma, Ruhija, Nkuringo, and Rushaga, among other areas of Bwindi, provide excellent opportunities to see a wide variety of birds, trees, bushes, and monkeys. The experience is quite breathtaking, since the majority of the pathways are adorned with picturesque waterfalls. As an additional Bwindi safari activity, you might go on a village stroll in one of the nearby communities.

You may have a better understanding of the locals and how they are indirectly benefitting from gorilla tourism by visiting the communities around the forest. We are certain that you will want to extend your stay in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park after reading our description of the activities available on a safari there.
