Gorilla Trekking in Uganda FAQs
Mountain gorillas are subspecies of the larger group of the eastern gorilla. They are large strong apes living in high altitude areas of Africa’s volcanic slopes. Mountain gorillas are known to be shy and strong though they can be aggressive when threatened.
Mountain gorillas are found in only two locations in the world, the Virunga Mountains shared by three countries, Rwanda, Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo and in Bwindi Impenetrable national park in Uganda. The gorillas in the Virunga mountains are protected within three neighboring parks each located in one of the three countries, that is Virunga National Park (DRC), Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda) and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (Uganda). Another park hosting mountain gorillas outside the Virunga Mountain is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda inhabiting more than half of the global population of mountain gorillas.
The recent estimates from the gorilla census done by the indicate that there are about 1,004 gorillas in the world.
Mountain gorillas are described as endangered animals because of the threats they face that are harmful to their well-being and habitat. Mountain gorillas face detrimental human activity including poaching, civil war and habitat destruction.
Mountain gorilla trekking is done every day in all parks within the three countries, Rwanda Uganda and Congo. The dry season (June to September and December to February) is the most ideal for tracking mountain gorillas basically due to weather conditions. Since gorillas live in high altitude areas, the ground tends to be muddy and slippery in the rain season making trekking hard. Likewise, gorillas rarely move in the rain hence sighting them can take a long time unlike in the dry season when they are moving freely all day long.
A gorilla permit allows you to trek the mountain gorillas. In Uganda gorilla permits are sold by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) at $600 each while in Rwanda they are sold by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) at $1,500 each. The easiest way of obtaining a gorilla permit is by booking through a local tour agent. The agent buys the permit from the tour authority on your behalf and arranges other necessary requirements for your trip including accommodation and transport.
Gorilla habituation is the process that involves getting wild mountain gorillas used to human beings and settling them into groups that are trekked by tourists. Gorilla habituation is done every day in Bwindi Impenetrable national park and tourists who want to take part can pay $1500. The process lasts for four hours each day. Tourists who take part in gorilla habituation get more comprehensive experience given the long time spent with the apes compared to those who do only trekking that lasts for only an hour.
Mountain gorillas have been habituated into groups/families for trekking in both Uganda and Rwanda. There are up to 15 gorilla groups in Bwindi that are ready for trekking. Each gorilla group consists of between 15-35 individuals that are led by a strong silverback (male gorilla). The arrangement is the same even in Rwanda’s Volcanoes national only that here there are 12 habituated groups. Authorities in both in both parks allocate each gorilla group to be trekked by a group of 8 tourists for one hour each day.
