Bwindi Gorilla Tracking
Safari Uganda
Gorilla tracking
The gorilla tracking activity which started in April 1993 is a very captivating activity which involves walking in the wilderness as well as hiking along the hills of the park in search of these amazing Apes. Gorilla tracking is done in Uganda and Rwanda by Amazing safaris. The Gorilla tracking experience starts at eight in the morning and occasionally lasts the whole day. The park management organizes a briefing about the general conduct or behavior of trackers when visiting the Gorillas.
Currently, there are four habituated groups in Bwindi. Ranger guides lead the visitors to the forest traps in search of these amazing creatures. The trackers follow the flattened foliage and piles of dung and sometimes the previous night’s nest to get the sense of direction in which the Gorillas headed. This involves passing through giant thickets of bamboo, dense vegetation in view of monkeys jumping from branch to branch, chimpanzees in search for food and edible plants. The trackers hack through the under growth with machetes in a bid to make bearable paths for visitors.
The Gorilla tracking activity can last for a couple of hours or minutes depending on the movement of the Gorillas the previous day. On discovering Gorillas, visitors are urged to keep a distance of five metres and not to use flash while taking photos.
