Unlock the wonders of Uganda with our budget Gorilla safaris departing from Kampala, offering an incredible opportunity to witness the majestic mountain gorillas in the afro-montane jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Crafted with meticulous consideration from numerous client reviews, our budget Uganda Gorilla safari promises affordability without compromising the quality of service.
This budget Uganda Gorilla safari not only brings you face to face with the enchanting mountain gorillas but also unveils the beauty of Uganda itself. Marvel at the Equator line, gaze upon the Virunga ranges, and immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of the region. As you trek through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, the adventure extends beyond gorilla encounters, offering glimpses of over 10 other primate species, including chimpanzees, black and white colobus monkeys, and red-tailed monkeys.
The journey commences from your Kampala hotel at 07:00 AM, providing the flexibility to choose the day that suits you best. For those arriving a day prior, assistance can be provided in booking a hotel in Kampala. Alternatively, if you are in Entebbe or Kampala, let us know your location, and we’ll pick you up from there.
Our Gorilla tour prices encompass transportation, accommodation, and meals throughout the safari. Bwindi Forest, a UNESCO Heritage site, becomes the backdrop for a life-changing encounter with the rare mountain gorillas. With only 1067 remaining globally, half of these reside in Bwindi Forest. Your budget Uganda Gorilla safari allows for a two-night stay in Bwindi National Park before returning to Kampala. On the final day of the safari, if you’re heading to the airport, we can drop you off there, concluding the journey around 17:00 hrs.
Situated in the southwestern part of Uganda, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park spans across Rukungiri, Kisoro, and Kabale Districts. Nestled in a hilly countryside, this equatorial jungle serves as a critical water catchment area for numerous rivers, supplying water to the surrounding agricultural lands.
Within Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, four Gorilla sectors thrive amid the dense vegetation. Colobus monkeys navigate through the foliage, exchanging warnings, while chimpanzee families, comprising 20 or 30 members, forage for fruits and edible plants.
The park’s hilly landscape, combined with remnants of lowland forest beyond its boundaries, plays a crucial role as a water catchment area for many rivers, sustaining the agricultural lands in the region.
For an optimal Uganda experience, late December to late February and from June to September are recommended. During these periods, the weather tends to be dry and warm, with average temperatures hovering around 25 degrees Celsius. Embark on a budget Gorilla safari from Kampala and immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Uganda.
