Over 80% of travelers who come to
Uganda goes gorilla tracking which means that gorilla tracking is on a very
high demand. Many travelers leave there beautiful, offices and home to come and
spend at least one or two days in the wild with gorillas observing their
behaviors as well as taking photos to show the rest of the people back home.
These species are tremendous fan to watch in their natural habitat, the one you
saw in zoos wasn’t a mountain gorillas, gorillas only live in the tropical rain
forest of Bwindi impenetrable forest and Mgahinga gorilla forest in Uganda and
in the volcanoes national park in Rwanda and Virunga national park in the
Democratic Republic of Congo, the only three countries in the world that host
the rare mountain gorillas over 880 individuals remained worldwide. Mountain
gorillas in Uganda are habituated to human standards and they can be tracked
safely in their natural habitat, Uganda gorilla permits are limited to only 88
per day. A maximum of eight people are allowed to track gorillas in each day
for about one hour. The process of securing your gorilla permit is straight
forward. You are required to identify a tour company that you intend to use for
travels in Uganda, then after inform them your travel dates and the number of
people you intend to come with, after knowing that, the tour company will
confirm the availability of the permits and accommodation options within the
park. After confirming the permit availability your travel company/ tour agents
will request you to send copies of their passports to secure the permits under
their names and also make payments for the permits either through wire transfer
or visa credit cards to the tour company. For any gorilla safari to Uganda and Rwanda

Owning a gorilla permit is a guarantee for
tracking, however it’s not a guarantee for seeing gorillas. However chances of
seeing gorillas are high over 95% and the ranger guides are most of the time
knows where these species are or where they spend their last night from, they
track them through their calls, dung, nest they build every day, food among
other and they monitor them time to time to become familiar to human. In case
you are found sick by the park wardens/ ranger guide, you are not allowed to track gorillas as
they can be affected, in case you report sickness earlier before tracking date
you may not lose both money and tracking. Ranger guides are readily available to
take you through the forest, they will be in position to give you relative
information on all forest flora and fauna you meet on the way, and if
interested porters are available for hire at a fee $20 they will help you to
carry your bag, and they may also carry you in case you get tired during
tracking. Since tracking is done in the forest there is a lot difficulties
stinging plants, muddy forest that can make you so tired before reaching to the
gorillas. Gorilla tracking is unpredictable it can go to a half or full day in
the jungle as meeting our cousins depends on where they spent the last night
from. and ounce they are meet you strictly allowed to stay with them for only one hour observing their behaviors as well as taking as many photos as you can.
