This park is positioned in the northern province of Rwanda, making it the most accessible location for gorilla tracking. The park features less strenuous trails, which often lead to sightings of gorillas in more open settings. Accommodations in this region cater to a variety of preferences, from comfortable lodges to high-end resorts, ensuring a rewarding stay without compromising the rustic feel of a wildlife expedition.
MOUNTAIN GORILLA TRACKING
Tracking mountain gorillas is often considered among the pinnacle of wildlife experiences, providing a profound encounter with these imposing yet gentle creatures.
Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest offers a stark contrast to Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park with its denser, more challenging terrain. Located in southwestern Uganda, this park promises a more strenuous and immersive tracking experience. The rugged landscapes require a higher degree of effort, which is rewarded with intimate wildlife encounters. Visitors typically stay in tented camps or lodges that emphasize environmental integration without sacrificing comfort.
Mgahinga National Park, Uganda
Although smaller and less frequented, Mgahinga National Park provides a unique gorilla tracking experience. With only one habituated gorilla group, visitors often enjoy a more secluded atmosphere. The park is located in the southwestern corner of Uganda, part of the Virunga Mountains. The treks here are known for their scenic beauty and the sense of adventure they evoke. The accommodations, while simpler, are designed to enhance the natural experience, focusing on the landscape and wildlife.
Virunga National Park, DRC
It is with considerable regret that we must withhold promotion of travel to Virunga National Park at this time, due to the prevailing political instability in the region. The safety of our guests is our foremost priority, and we extend our heartfelt wishes for a swift resolution to the dedicated team at Virunga, a park renowned for its significant contributions to gorilla conservation and its diverse ecological landscapes.
