Nobody living on this world will pay USD1500 for a gorilla permit for Rwanda or USD800 for Uganda to come and miss out on seeing gorillas. The most often asked question concerning gorilla trekking is, if I spend all that much, what are the possibilities of sighting mountain gorillas either in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda? Although there is no one solution that can attempt to explain odds of sighting mountain gorillas, a combination of them will help to solve this problem rather significantly.

Factors influencing the high likelihood of mountain gorilla sightings

Whether in Uganda or Rwanda, there is a 95% probability that you will observe mountain gorillas on any trail; hence, odds are so great that you will see these gorillas when you pay that very expensive gorilla permit.

The reasons behind the high likelihood of seeing mountain gorillas are that the activity of mountain gorilla trekking is so coordinated in Uganda and Rwanda and as such, by the time visitors leave for the forest, the guides already know where gorilla families are and their daily movements. Trekkers or advanced groups rise very early in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Volcanoes National Park to get to the forest and track where all the gorilla families are.

They pursue them till time for informing the park headquarters arrives once they locate them. After that, they will phone the headquarters to let them know the locations of the many gorilla families and from where visitors with their gorilla guide will begin the trail into the jungle under direction from the advanced team. Most visitors to Uganda or Rwanda now see mountain gorillas thanks to this company.

Another reason for the great likelihood of encountering mountain gorillas is that roughly three months of planning for each gorilla trip practically begins three months before the trip itself. Usually, tour companies counsel their guests on gorilla trekking, what to carry, and how often the activity might be physically demanding and therefore even those who could have missed the gorillas are informed in advance.

Just in case you are feeble, you could be suggested to have porters or a sedan chair. Following this is a briefing at Volcanoes National Park headquarters or Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to ensure that everything runs as it should.

The fact that gorilla family distribution nowadays is done sensibly helps to increase the chances of encountering mountain gorillas once again. Those without strength designate simpler households than those with great energy.

This implies that even those who could have missed due to physical fitness end up reaching the gorillas. Thanks to porters and sedan chairs, even older persons with impairments have been able to fulfill their goal of mountain gorilla treking. In Uganda, a 99-year-old woman traced and demonstrated that anybody who was well-prepared could reach the mountain gorillas.

Katland safaris therefore calls on all those who are reluctant to book their gorilla trekking safari either to Rwanda or Uganda on the basis of uncertainty that they may fail to encounter mountain gorillas in either nation. Kindly get in touch with our experienced safari advisors for more information on possibilities of encountering mountain gorillas and other necessary preparations required to make your gorilla trekking safari successful.

Another reason why chances of sighting mountain gorillas are high in Uganda and Rwanda is gorilla families for gorilla trekking are totally accustomed. These gorilla families’ members are accustomed to humans because they live for at least two years. There are rare chances they may flee even after you have reached them.
