Where to Go on Your Uganda Gorilla Trek & Wildlife Safari

I and my wife in January 2017, we booked gorilla and wildlife camping safari in Uganda and we had 19 Day Uganda Tour and Safari visiting the gorillas in Bwindi impenetrable national park and wildlife in Queen Elizabeth National Park among other parks. We did our gorilla trekking tour at the Rushaga side, and we were allocated to the Nshongi gorilla family and it took us like 4 hours walking in the mountain terrains looking for the mountain gorillas in their territory. When we met the mountain gorillas it was 1 hour we stayed with them taking the photographs and videos and later we moved back to the park headquarters for our gorilla trekking certificate!

Then the following day we had our stay at the Lake Mutanda enjoying the environs of the Lake and after we returned to our camping place, Bwindi Jungle Lodge, for our lunch and then in the evening we had to retire at the camp! Then the following we took second the gorilla tour visiting the second gorilla family and we visited the Nkuringo gorilla family and the experience was as amazing as the first experience, though this trek took us more time in the forest searching for the primate in their territory.

Thereafter, being filled with this experience 2 times, we embarked our safari vehicle and transferred to Queen Elizabeth National Park via the Ishasha southern sector where we spotted a big number of African tree climbing lions and from this point we camped at the River Ishasha Camp, and at this point fire is set. Then in the morning we took a dawn game drive and more wildlife species were spotted.

Later, we transferred to the Mweya peninsula and we stayed at the Bush Lodge where we camped for the nights we spent in this park, and the following day we took early morning game drive searching for the wildlife like lions, elephants, buffaloes, water and bush bucks, and warthogs among others. After the 3-4 hours’ drive, moved to the Kazinga Channel for the boat cruise along the channel and over this cruise variety of wildlife and bird species can be spotted and more too like the elephants can be spotted after the boat ride to your way back to the lodge.

From this park you will have an amazing nature walk in the Maramagambo Forest and the Kyambura gorge and you will have chances of spotting more eco-tourism products like the primates, birds, butterflies, plants and other insects. And after you can spend the evening visiting the crater lakes and take the scenic photographs as the sun is setting off! Plus also visiting the Katwe salting point and here you can watch the flamingos in big number as the sun is setting off! Therefore I highly recommend camping safaris in Uganda with such reliable tours and travel company.
