Gorillas in the Wild - A unique Experience.
🦍Is seeing Gorillas in the Wild a must do experience for you?
Tracking mountain gorillas is one of the most unique wildlife experiences in the world.
Sure, it is not cheap but the experience is priceless!💚
💰But how expensive it really is? Expensive!!🤑
We left this experience for the end of our African trip because we knew the rest of our budget would all be spent on the Gorilla & Chimpazee trekking (that’s for another post).
💵The cost of gorilla trekking differs from country to country. It is important to note that the price of gorilla permits is just a fraction of the overall cost of gorilla trekking. You still have to consider transportation, accommodation, food, Visas, tips for the guides, flights etc.
🗺There are only 3 places in the world where you can see Mountain Gorillas and the park entrance fee cost vary depending on the country.
We chose Bwindi impenetrable forest in Uganda because it’s safe and more affordable than its neighbour, Rwanda.
This park permit is valid for one day only and can only be booked through your tour operator.
Part of the amount you pay for your gorilla trekking permit is used in the conservation and research process, another part is used to develop and educate the communities around the protected gorilla conservation areas and to develop the infrastructure.
🇨🇩Congo$450
🇷🇼Rwanda $1500
🇺🇬Uganda $700
You can only do this trek with a private tour. However, you’ll be joined by other people when you arrive at the park - from other private tours. Our group had 6 people in total and we were only 2 groups that day.
Is that very expensive hour with the Gorillas worth it? To us, a million YES!!
Did you know that there are only around 1,000 Gorillas left in the world?
Poaching, habitat destruction and diseases threaten the life of these magnificent creatures.
How often do gorillas give birth?
Females have a gestation period of 8.5 months and nurture their young for several years. Generally, females give birth to one baby every four to six years. This slow population growth makes it harder for gorillas to recover from any population decline.
Travel responsibly.
My #2024wish is to hike in the Karakoram mountain area in Pakistan.

Hey, chasing King Kong through Bwindi through the forest! Is the rise of the mysterious ball in my heart
If you have seen the American blockbuster "King Kong" and the Oscar-winning film "The Rise of the Planet of the Apes", then you must know that in the face of fierce pursuit, a gorilla is considering His girlfriend went to the Empire State Building to watch the sunrise.
In fact, the protagonist of this movie is a mountain gorilla. Mountain gorillas are a subspecies of oriental gorillas. This is a rare animal that is endangered. Currently, there are only about 700 gorillas in the world, which are only distributed in three African countries: Uganda, Rwanda and Congo.
Bundi in Uganda is known for its hard-to-reach forests. It provides a good living environment and a rich source of food for this moderate giant, allowing this rare animal to thrive here. Take a ride through the unbreakable forest of Bwindi!
600 knives, just to track your tracks in the dense jungle, spend an hour with you, if you want to track other mountain gorilla families, sorry, please spend another 600 knives the next day, good luck, Half an hour on foot, bad luck, you need to walk four hours to find you, but still only one hour and five meters away looking at you.
The idea behind tracking a family is that you should reserve a few more days for you, not enough to see enough. After all, the world can see your three national parks. I have gone this time, it is still too poor, I can only see a King Kong family.
