Gorilla Tacking

One of the classic Uganda experiences is tracking mountain gorillas in the beautiful Bwindi Impenetrable forest and nothing will ever prepare you for the first glimpse or the sound of the silver back pounding its chest amidst the dense undergrowth. The excitement kicks in when you’re up close to the imposing and magnificent figure of a silver back and its all baby gorillas peeking through leaves or hiding behind their mothers. When they sense that all is well they will start showing off by swinging, twisting, turning and somersaulting all for your entertainment. Gorilla permits will set you back as they cost US$ 750 but don’t think twice about going out for this genuine once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Keep in mind that a portion of the fee goes to the park and gorilla conservation initiatives, helping to ensure their survival among us!
