Uganda Gorilla and Wildlife Photography Safari

There is no schedule, other than the one that you choose.  You make up your own safari.  Just tell us what you would like to see and photograph and we will get you there.  The vehicle stops, goes, wherever you choose. There is no moving from one group of animals to another unless you decide to do so.

Trek through Uganda’s forests to find the elusive mountain gorilla. A Uganda gorilla Safari and trek within the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest national Park is a highlight of all visits done in Uganda and certainly mountain gorillas are the major reason as to why very many people visit Uganda.  On the other hand, Uganda is recognized as a very safe and more so secure country in which you can see these Gorillas in serene surroundings. Mountain Gorillas possess longer plus darker hair compared to their lowland counterparts because they stay in colder climates and higher altitudes.  Their life span is between 40 and 50 years.

The mountain gorillas mainly stay on the ground although they will climb a tree occasionally given that it can support them, however just like children, their young play in the trees. Usually The Males are two times the size of the females, they may grow to 6 ft. tall and even weigh 350 -500 pounds.  These are strong, with long arms and muscular.  The males are referred to as the silver back because as they mature the hair on their back turns somewhat silver, hence the name Silver backs.  The strength of the males is ten times stronger compared to the strongest boxer, even taking steroids.  The arms of silver backs can stretch to 7 feet
