Embark on an enchanting journey of Gorilla trekking and wildlife safaris in East Africa, a region renowned for being among the finest safari destinations in Africa. East Africa captivates with its rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, breathtaking wildlife, lush mountains, and charming coastal cities. It stands as the perfect haven for travelers seeking immersive experiences with locals and savoring delectable cuisines on a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure.
In East Africa, the opportunity arises to partake in the ultimate Gorilla Trekking adventure in Uganda, home to half of the world’s mountain Gorillas, and witness the African Big Five wildlife spectacle in Kenya. A mere week is insufficient to fully grasp the beauty of Uganda and Kenya; therefore, combining gorilla trekking and wildlife safaris in East Africa becomes a compelling choice.
For a truly unforgettable experience, allocate a minimum of four days in Uganda to immerse yourself in a memorable Gorilla Trekking Adventure within the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and an additional four days in Kenya for a spectacular Masai Mara Wildebeest Migration Safari.
Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, housing half of the world’s mountain Gorillas, beckons adventure seekers. Gorilla trekking in Uganda is a year-round activity, attracting enthusiasts from across the globe. To participate, securing a gorilla permit is imperative. Trek Africa Expeditions provides detailed information on Gorilla trekking safaris in East Africa.
A Gorilla permit in Uganda costs USD800 per person per trek. Due to high demand, it’s advisable to secure permits in advance on a first-come, first-serve basis. The journey involves walking through the dense tropical rainforest, where rain is a possibility at any time. However, equipped with a walking stick, rain jacket, and porters, the trek remains a successful and awe-inspiring experience.
While Gorilla trekking is conducted throughout the year, the ideal time is during the dry months of December to February and June to September. Planning during these seasons, especially June to September, allows for a perfect combination of Gorilla Trekking with the Wildebeest Migration in Kenya. This peak season offers favorable weather conditions for trekking and hiking, ensuring an unforgettable adventure with mountain gorillas.
