We toured around Uganda for a month in this June 2015 and visited all of the most famous National Parks. We were stunned by the lush, green beauty of this country and had many memorable experiences during our journey.
Experience Gorilla Trekking in Uganda
One of the most memorable adventures was this gorilla tracking which we did in Ruhija, the most remote gorilla tracking sector of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Our trek wasn’t from the easiest end; we walked over 2,5 hours before reaching the gorilla family. The impenetrable forest really lives up to its name, too, I can tell you.
It was purely magical to finally encounter the endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat – to sit in the bush and observe these magnificent creatures, only a few metres away! We even managed to meet the mighty silverback.
We created this video to show you a glimpse of this very special, true once-in-a-lifetime experience.
And here is a long blog post about this extraordinary adventure, so you can read more profoundly about our gorilla trekking experience!
We hope you enjoy watching this!
