Mountain Gorillas

With these primates’ tours in Uganda, you shall visit the best selected prime Uganda national parks for excellent primate tracking tours you may not find elsewhere in the Africa. The Bwindi impenetrable Forest gorilla tracking is among the top safari activities that cannot miss within the Ugandan tour packages. Primate Tours including wildlife tours to Chimpanzee at Ngamba Islands Queen Elizabeth is worth undertaking. Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of the most gifted national parks with a high concentration of wildlife in East Africa.

We can arrange a wildlife excursion for you at short notice. A lot of other safari activities are available in Queen Elizabeth National Park. We set out early in the morning for a game drive in the northern part of the park on the Kasenyi Track in search of lions, elephants, solitary buffaloes. This is the best time for opportunities of viewing the cats in action owing to the vast population of Uganda Kobs.

We have an excellent chance to view just about every animal here at very close range. In the afternoon we will go for a launch trip along the Kazinga Channel. This gives you the opportunity to view wildlife up close: hippo’s huff and spray at mere feet away from the boat, buffalo linger in the shallows. The shores of the channel are also home to an array of birds including pink backed pelicans, pied and malachite kingfishers, saddle billed stork and many others.

Gorilla tracking tours are very captivating. They involve walking in the wilderness in search of the great apes. Different gorilla groups have been habituated in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. However the Mgahinga gorilla group is now reliable than before it used on crossing to the Virunga mountains in Democratic of Republic of Congo and Rwanda. This cradle is the home to 345 mountain gorillas, which is a half of the world population.

For chimpanzee tracking safari, Kibale Forest National Park is the best place in Uganda any visitor can not miss. Other primates in this park include L’hoest monkeys, grey-cheeked manageable, black-and-white colobus monkeys and the nocturnal Pottos. Traveling on both asphalt and unpaved roads, you pass through traditional Ugandan Villages where you see people at work tending their traditional crops of millet, sorghum, beans and maize.

The lush rolling hills of this region provide good “photo opportunities”.  As you approach Fort Portal in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, you enter Uganda’s famous tea plantation region. A carpet of green spreads before you, as far as the eye can see, and seems an unusual contrast to the countryside through which you have just passed. You arrive at Fort Portal, then, continue toward Kibale Forest, one of the great African rain forest research reserves. Years of study by scientists (who have cut a grid through the forest) have habituated many of its animals to human observers. This forest is famed for the variety of primates found here and it is a terrific area for birds.
