Nature Adventure Uganda is one of the best tour companies you would with to travel with providing affordable safaris and customer oriented. Catch up with mountain gorillas in Mgahinga National Park since it is easier to cross to Congo for the next gorilla safari. Gorilla tracking stands out to be the leading activity at Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and 75% of Mgahinga visitors come to view the primates. With Uganda left with about 400 mountain gorillas, the park is one of the two places where a visitor is guaranteed to have a glance at the endangered species. It is the best point to trek the Nyakagezi gorilla group which frequently moves adjacent in the forests of Conga and Rwanda.

The trek starts from Ntebeko Entrance gate to around 8:00 am in the morning daily taking 2-4 hours. A visitor is expected to budget for his/her time well while with a gorilla family since the maximum time allowed to spend with them is one hour. The best time to visit the place for tracking is during the two dry seasons when the park is easily accessed. It is during this time that the thick forests can be penetrated easily and when the paths are not as muddy as it is in the rainy season. The two dry Seasons best for gorilla safaris are; mid-December to end of February and June to October. However, gorilla tracking tourism is possible throughout the year.

After all the amazing looks of a gorilla in Mgahinga National Park and the ever lasting memories, cross direct to Congo for the Virunga gorillas. Gorillas live together in “troops” that can include as many as 30 animals under a dominant alpha male. Although they’re able climbers, they spend most of their time on the ground feeding and nesting.

Males will often challenge one another with displays of physical power, pounding their chest and charging, but otherwise these vegetarians live in peaceful harmony on a diet of plants, roots, fruit, tree bark, and pulp. In contrast to its size and power, a silver back is roughly 6 to 10 times stronger than any human! This massive animal is generally calm and non aggressive unless disturbed. If all goes well, Maseka will never leave the slopes of Mt. Mikeno.

From the cover of the undergrowth, we watch as he lies on his back, holding his feet in one hand and scratching his chest with the other, unconcerned by, or unaware of, our presence. He rolls over on his haunches and begins pulling down large green leaves and thick brown vines, munching contentedly. Nature Adventure Uganda is always ready to prepare for you such a memorable safari.
