Adventure Safari, Kenya

3 Days Uganda Gorilla Safari via Kigali (From US$5500 per person)

  • 3 Days & 2 Nights
  • |
  • Uganda, Rwanda

Highlights

Gorilla trekking can be strenuous and requires a level of physical fitness. Mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) are a critically endangered species and are only found in the mountains shared by Rwanda, Uganda and DRC. Gorilla trekking is for sure a life-changing and once-in-a-lifetime experience. Daily visits have an impact on gorilla activity patterns and are a source of animal stress – therefore the firm justification for the “only spend one-hour” rule.

  • Regular

The “regular” or “dry” safari season in East Africa generally offers optimal game viewing due to reduced rainfall and vegetation, making it easier to spot wildlife. These months offer a balance between lower prices, fewer tourists, and decent game viewing.

  • Peak

Animals are concentrated around water, vegetation is low and sparse, and predators are circling. But at this time of year, the famous wildebeest migration is in Tanzania’s Serengeti, moving southwards following the end of year rains. Witness the Serengeti dramatic birthing season: it’s one of the best times to watch predator/prey interaction.

  • Green

It’s green because it’s wet. This is the time of the ‘Long Rains’ and some of the more remote and wild reserves in East Africa are worth avoiding; accommodations may be closed anyway. Gorilla trekking becomes more difficult, and in Kenya and Tanzania’s reserves, wildlife tends to disperse across wider areas, making animals more difficult to see.
