Explore the wonders of the Pearl of Africa, boasting a rich tapestry of natural marvels, including Mountain Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Golden Monkeys, and abundant wildlife.
While New Year’s Day may seem distant, it is a season where securing Gorilla and Chimpanzee permits in Uganda and Rwanda becomes exceedingly rare, coupled with challenges in making accommodation reservations, especially in executive and luxury lodges.
Escape the harsh winter of Northern Europe and the United States and immerse yourself in the welcoming and warm temperature climate of Uganda and Rwanda. Embark on an exclusive safari with the Gorillas in the Mist during a memorable New Year’s Day Gorilla tracking safari holiday in the Pearl of Africa or Rwanda. Experience not only an incredible encounter with the gentle giants of the forest but also ensure a safe and secure New Year’s Gorilla tracking holiday.
Tailor your New Year’s Gorilla tracking safari in Uganda and Rwanda to your preferences, ranging from a 3-day Gorilla tracking adventure to the exclusive Uganda Gorilla Habituation Experience lasting 10 days or more. Extended safaris may include visits to Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale Forest National Park, Rwenzori Mountains National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, and Volcanoes National Park.
Enhance your experience by including a Volcano Mountain hike in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park or a trek to Dian Fossey’s grave, a conservationist who dedicated many years to the endangered Mountain Gorillas.
Traveling to Uganda and Rwanda has become more accessible, with flights to Entebbe International Airport or Kigali International Airport in Rwanda, particularly for those who prefer shorter drives to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Mgahinga Gorilla National Parks, as Rwanda serves as the unofficial gateway to South-Western Uganda.
A New Year’s Gorilla tracking safari in Uganda offers a cost-effective alternative to neighboring Rwanda. Your dollar, especially on a luxury safari holiday, stretches further, allowing you to save hundreds of dollars. Begin your savings with Gorilla permits for Uganda priced at USD800 per person per trek, compared to USD 1500 per person per trek in Rwanda, making Uganda the preferred destination for safe and secure Gorilla treks.
Break the tradition of celebrating New Year’s Day at home and seize the opportunity to spend it with Mountain Gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda. Contribute to their conservation and survival by spending time with these rare apes in the forest on a special New Year’s Day.
Due to the heightened demand for Gorilla permits during this short season, we strongly advise booking permits and lodge accommodations in advance to avoid shortages. Gorilla permits in Uganda are priced at USD800 per person per trek for a 1-hour Gorilla-watching experience.
For those seeking extended hours with the Mountain Gorillas, opt for the Gorilla Habituation Experience at USD 1500 per person per trek, allowing 4 hours with a semi-habituated Gorilla family. This unique experience is exclusive to Uganda and is conducted in Rushaga, the Southern sector of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, with only 4 people per day per trek.
Once Gorilla permits are secured, additional safari services can be arranged based on your itinerary. Depending on the duration of your safari holiday, consider adding attractions such as game viewing, boat safaris, Chimpanzee, or Golden Monkey tracking.
