Gorilla Trekking
Gorilla trekking is the highlight of most safaris in Uganda. The famed Bwindi National Park offers travelers with an opportunity to look into the pensive eyes of the endangered mountain gorillas on a gorilla trekking tour in Africa! The park is part of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, located just on the border of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. As the name Bwindi implies, the forest is dense forest that’s only penetrable by foot. The park is a recognised UNESCO World Heritage Site hosting nearly half of the total remaining population of the mountain gorillas.
Chimpanzee Tracking
Looking to see chimpanzees in the wild? Are you a primate lover? Take a safari to Uganda and track the trails of wild chimpanzees in various forests such as Kibale Forest, Budongo Forest, Kaniyo Pabidi, Kaliznu Forest, Kyambura Gorge and more. In addition to that there are 13 other primates that are recorded to exist in Uganda including the cheeky swinging monkeys.
White Water Rafting
A rafting trip in Uganda might not be the first thing you think of when you imagine your Uganda travels, but those who experience rafting in Nalubale often count it as one of the highlights of their trip.
