The gorilla park is well protected and there is no course of alarm on personal security. The rangers are very motivated, and they will do everything possible to make it a pleasant trip. It is still a wonderful place to see the mountain gorilla , and it normally offers excellent opportunities for photos. The gorilla tracking is less strenuous than in Bwindi park however the altitude may cause difficulties for some visitors and gorilla tend to climb higher during dry season. A good physical condition is also here recommended, as you may have to climb higher during dry season.
Tracking mountain gorillas on foot through the equatorial forests of Uganda ranks as one of the world's most thrilling wildlife experiences. You hike through the dense, vine-clad mountain forests of primeval Bwindi, a World Heritage Site and home of half of the world's 700 remaining mountain gorillas. Once we find a clan of these creatures, the hike is quickly forgotten as we become absorbed in quiet observation of their interactions. Before gorilla tracking , our classic safari explores the Great Rift Valley dreamscape of Queen Elizabeth National Park, right on the edge of the towering Ruwenzori Mountains. In this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, we hike and birdwatch in the Maramagambo Forest and safari it is likely we will be able to see leopard, lions and more.

Kibale national park harbours the greatest concentration of primates found anywhere in East Africa.Other chimpanzee trek is done in Nyungwe national park in Rwanda known for its large families of Colombus monkeys, chimpanzees and over other 14 species of Primates.
Getting to see gorillas is not easy, nor are you guaranteed to see them. The trek to where the gorilla groups live takes you through very dense vegetation, up steep slopes and can last several hours. Gorillas move around so they aren't all that easy to track. The gorillas you'll be meeting are habituated to humans which is why you are able to get quite close to them.

-
You have to be over 15 years of age
-
You can not be sick or have any infectious disease
-
