Mubare Gorilla Family one of the three habituated Mountain Gorilla groups in the  Uganda trekking safari  region of Buhoma – Bwindi Impenetrable National Park struck a magical wonder when two of its members attained successful births in the period of one week.

Unlike in the past where the high demand for  Uganda Gorilla trekking  permits  would be experienced in the peak months of June – August, the trend seems to be changing and now, the increased demand spreads across the year. The trend is partly attributed to the recent 100% increment in the Rwanda Gorilla permit leaving many world travelers with the option of taking up  Gorilla Safaris in Uganda .  Apparently, the Uganda Gorilla permit is $900 cheaper than that of Rwanda in the high season months and $1050 cheaper in the low season months of April, May and November. Other factors including increased marketing undertaken by among others; the three (3) Public Relations firms namely Kamageo, PHG Consulting and KPRN along with the Uganda Tourism Board and the Private tour operators such as Prime  Uganda Safaris and Tours  Ltd have also increased the visibility of the destination Uganda and hence popularising the  Uganda Gorilla Safaris and Tours ....

The first major one was Rothschild Giraffe translocation from  Murchison Falls National Park  to Lake Mburo National Park in June 2016 where a total of fifteen (15) Rothschild Giraffes were transferred accordingly. The respective individuals adapted well to the acacia savannah stretches of Lake Mburo National Park and now encountered by travellers on  Uganda Safaris . Besides the Giraffe translocation to Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda Wildlife Authority also undertook another shift of Rothschild Giraffes from the savannah stretches of northern sector of the park to the shrub lands of the southern sector of the park early this year.

A minimum of 100 Kobs were transferred boosting the food supply for big cats in Kid...
