Gorilla Conservation

The Endangered Mountain Gorillas have attracted a lot of attention during the past years with quite a number of international and local organisations to help protect and conserve these apes. By visiting these gorillas, you directly contribute to the conservation efforts.

Gorilla Habituation Experience

About half of the world’s mountain gorillas live in Uganda, making gorilla trekking there one of the most amazing wildlife experiences in Africa.

It is possible to spend up to an hour with gorillas on a standard gorilla hike in their native habitat.
Gently introducing gorillas to humans, a procedure that takes between two and five years, has made this possible.
Achieving this goal is critical to the ongoing study, treatment, and protection of gorillas.

The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest’s rangers and conservationists are looking for volunteers who want to get more involved in the protection and understanding of these gentle giants.
Habituation treks allow you to spend up to four amazing hours with these incredibly intelligent and emotional animals.

It’s a profoundly moving experience, and it’s essential to the gorillas’ survival that visitors become accustomed to it.

Other African Safari Activities Alongside Gorilla Tours

Golden Monkey Tracking

The Virunga Volcanoes, which are shared by Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, are home to the Golden Monkey, a beautiful and rare monkey.
In Uganda’s Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, in the southwest of the country, visitors can go on a hike with a golden monkey.

Due to its location in the mountains and the fact that the monkeys are always moving, Golden monkey trekking is a more energetic excursion than Chimpanzee or gorilla trekking in some circumstances.
This preference is because they enjoy eating bamboo shoots that are still green and tender.

Chimpanzee Tracking

Over 120 habituated chimps and 1400 in the jungle live in Kibale National Park, the world’s primate capital.
About 95 percent of the time, you’ll find chimpanzees when trekking.
Chimpanzee trekking is available twice a day, with the morning session beginning at 7 a.m. and the afternoon session beginning at 12 p.m., with as many as six groups of six individuals each day.
Primates in the forest include the black & white colobus, red-tailed monkeys, red colobus monkeys, and baboons, among other species.

More than 300 chimpanzees live in the Kalinzu forest, which is home to roughly 40 of them.
In addition to chimpanzee trekking, roughly 60% of trekkers see chimpanzees while out in the wild.
While on this chimpanzee trekking safari, take in the stunning surroundings and gurgling streams.
This is a strenuous hike that necessitates a high degree of physical fitness.

Chimp hiking in the Budongo forest in the Kaniyo Pabidi region of Murchison Falls National Park is a pleasant adventure. ‘
Chimpanzees are the most populous in the jungle, but just a handful are used to tourists.
In contrast to Kibale, where permits must be reserved in advance, you can notify park authorities in Kaniyo Pabidi the day before your monkey hike.
