Embarking on Winter Break Gorilla Trekking Holidays during the months of December to February takes on a unique and enchanting twist with gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda, the heart of Africa. As Europe experiences a dip in temperatures, Trek Africa Expeditions invites you to escape the chill and embrace a warm, immersive experience with gorillas in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, known as the “country of a thousand hills.”
Bwindi is a haven for gorilla enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable winter break. Boasting over 18 habituated mountain gorilla groups dispersed across various regions of the forest, Bwindi stands as the global leader with more than half of the world’s mountain gorilla population. For detailed information on Bwindi gorilla trekking tours, reach out to Trek Africa Expeditions via email or WhatsApp.
Nestled in the southwestern part of Uganda, Mgahinga National Park offers another enticing opportunity for winter gorilla trekking. Positioned at the crossroads of Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mgahinga is an extension of the Virunga gorilla national parks. With one habituated gorilla family, Mgahinga provides a seamless trekking experience. Contact Trek Africa Expeditions for insights into Mgahinga gorilla tours.
Rwanda takes center stage in gorilla trekking, particularly in Volcanoes National Park. With Trek Africa Expeditions orchestrating gorilla trekking holidays, you can immerse yourself in the natural habitat of over 10 habituated mountain gorilla families. Rwanda stands as the unrivaled destination for an unforgettable winter break with these magnificent primates.
The key to a successful winter break gorilla trekking safari lies in securing gorilla permits. These permits, issued by Uganda Wildlife Authority in Uganda and RDB in Rwanda, grant you one hour with a habituated gorilla family. The permit covers the ranger guide’s services, park entry fees for Bwindi, Mgahinga, or Volcanoes National Park, and allows for still photographs and simple videos, along with a certificate at the trek’s conclusion.
Booking your gorilla trekking permits is a seamless process with Trek Africa Expeditions. Contact us with your preferred trekking dates between December and February, and we will check permit availability in Uganda and Rwanda. Once the date is confirmed, we can reserve your permit for up to 4 days while you complete the payment through credit card or wire transfer. After payment, we secure your permit and provide scanned copies of receipts, keeping your permit safe until the trekking date.
Given the peak season from December to February, Trek Africa Expeditions recommends booking your winter break holiday 3-4 months in advance.
