Most important of all is that you become part of the great historical attachment to this gorilla family even before its open for gorilla trekking……you can always seat back there and say” i was part of the team that prepared / habituated that group for tourist to trek.

GORILLA TREKKING OR TRACKING IN UGANDA
Uganda, the ‘Pearl of Africa’, is full of adventure with wild Bwindi National Park, spectacular Lake Bunyonyi and half of the world’s gorilla population, the lush forests holding approximately 400 mountain gorillas. The search for gorillas can be strenuous, the expert guides leading you through the dense jungle on a trek that could be one or possibly eight hours. However this unpredictable nature adds to the excitement of the animal encounter with nothing comparing to the thrill of emerging through the trees to find a troupe of gorillas. Spending an hour in the company of the peaceful but mighty gorillas is both exhilarating and tranquil. Gorilla permits are limited in numbers with only 10 issued per gorilla family each day to ensure their exposure to humans is limited and your experience has a wonderful atmosphere of seclusion.

EXPEREINCE THE BIG FIVE ACROSS EAST AFRICAN
Spotting the Big Five on safari is the ultimate African wildlife experience, attracting animal fans to the plains of Africa time and time again. Elephant, leopard, rhino, buffalo and lion where nicknamed the Big Five as these were the hardest animals to hunt in the days of the ‘great white hunter’ in the 19th century. There are many countries in Africa where you can enjoy a Big Five safari, from South Africa’s Kruger National Park to Namibia’s Etosha National Park and Chobe National Park in Botswana, with no two animal sightings ever the same. Driving across the beautiful landscape, the expert guides will take you to close proximity of prides of yawning lions, herds of elephants playing and spraying each other around a waterhole, a gang of buffalo chomping on the long grass, a rhino and its calf wallowing in the mud, and a single elusive leopard hanging out in the branches of an acacia tree.

NATURE’S GREATEST SPECTACLE…
THE WILDEBEEST MIGRATION IN EAST AFRICA
For many years, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra have followed their natural instincts and journeyed across the vast plains of East Africa in one of the world’s natural wonders known as the Great Wildebeest Migration. This colossal show is played out across two of Africa’s epic wildlife areas – Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park before entering Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. Although many aim to see the exhilarating crossing of the Grumeti River in Tanzania from June to mid July, this natural cycle of movement happens all year with many different and exciting stages to it. During this pilgrimage across 1,800 miles the wildebeest are faced with many adversities including the snapping jaws of crocodile and the hungry prides of lion following closely in their tracks in the hope of catching a weak stray. This thrilling predator versus prey interaction makes for incredible safari watching.
