Gorilla walking tours and safaris – Bwindi Impenetrable National Park – Mgahinga Gorilla National park.

Walking safaris with gorillas—In Uganda, these adventures are becoming standard fare for safari goers. In addition to walking safaris, many visitors to Uganda also enjoy chimpanzee and gorilla trekking, boat tours, and game drives. What follows is some information that should serve as a guide if you are interested in going on a walking tour of Uganda.

Walking adventures

Walking safaris in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park are a great way to enhance your Uganda safari. Among the many popular locations in Bwindi for nature-based walking safaris offered by Monumental Expeditions and Safaris are the trailheads at Buhoma, Rushaga, Ruhija, and Nkuringo. You may experience the natural splendor of the forest on these treks while seeing a variety of primates, including wild chimpanzees, birds, butterflies, and waterfalls.

For those interested in walking safaris, one popular route is the Buhoma Village walk, which passes through several community farms where you can see farmers at work, a herbalist who can show you how herbs are made into remedies for various diseases, a local brewery, and finally, the home of the Batwa, or pygmies, who lived in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park before it was gazetted as a national park in the early 1990s.

The Nkuringo walking safari, which departs from either Buhoma in the north or Nkuringo in the south, is ideal for those who are more daring and physically active. This two to three hour walking safari will lead you into the woods.

Clients who appreciate nature on foot and are interested in birds, primates, or both will enjoy this journey. It is recommended to begin your journey from Buhoma to Nkuringo rather than the other way around since you will be descending rather than rising.

Hiking safaris abound in Uganda; for example, in Kibale National Park, visitors may partake in a forest walk to see primates and birds, or they can join the Bigodi wetland walk, an initiative to aid the local populations in the park’s vicinity. Regardless of the location you want to visit
