However, regardless of which group trekked, all travelers are assured of a memorable experience on their safari Uganda or Rwanda. The respective park management also allocated gorilla families depending to the region for your permit.

Tips of how to choose the best gorilla family to trek on your safari Rwanda

The thickness of the route in the forest that you are taking matters a lot in choosing a gorilla family to trek. If you fear forests, request for a group that is near so you trek that one. Your fitness and age are also key in which group will be easy for you. Those in the late 50s will find it hard to track groups located in the steep terrains. Though people may say trekking is a bit easy, do not take this hiking for granted. If you have problems with altitude (heights) you also have something to worry about. The elevation is up to 3000m. In Uganda, gorilla trekking safari are conducted in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Mgahinga National Park where Bwindi is composed of 4 main sectors where treks usually kick start. They include Buhoma, Ruhija, Nkuringo and Rushaga region. Each of these trailheads features habituated groups for visitors to track and visitors are assigned a group early in the morning in the course of pre-trekking briefing on dos and don’ts to be followed while you are on a gorilla trek.
