On the way, you’ll stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in the Nakasongola district for some white rhino tracking. The Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is Uganda’s only place to see white rhinos in the wild. Uganda once had a sufficient number of rhinos, which were found in the Kidepo Valley and Murchison Falls national parks, but they became nationally extinct in the early 1970s due to numerous illegal human activities such as poaching and civil unrest. As a result, the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary was established in 2005 to facilitate rhino reintroduction into Uganda’s wildlife inventory.

Most of these crater lakes were formed during the ancient volcanic activity in Uganda about 10000 years ago, which left behind several scenic crater lakes, most of which include the Kibale-Ndali-Kasenda Crater Lakes.

These craters are among the few extinct volcanic features whose volcanic gases are said to have covered about 10 kilometers beneath them. The lakes feature a sulphuric smell and are characterized by green toxic water, which means that you shouldn’t try jumping into any Crater Lake water prior to finding out if it is safer for one to swim in it.

DAY 9 Bwindi Impenetrable Forest national park – Mountain gorilla trekking – Drive to Mgahinga gorilla national park

Day 9 of a 14-day wildlife and primate safari in Uganda. Wake up early in the morning (0600am) to organize yourself, gather the necessary mountain gorilla trekking equipment such as cameras, binoculars, insect repellants, and dress appropriately for mountain gorilla trekking such as long khaki or jean trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, waterproof hiking boots, a rain jacket, heavy-duty gloves, and round hats. Have a hearty breakfast, pack your lunch boxes, bring plenty of drinking water, and meet your safari guide to be transferred to the park information offices to be briefed about mountain gorilla trekking dos and don’ts, how to behave in the presence of mountain gorillas, and be assigned a mountain gorilla family to track with the assistance of a UWA ranger and the park ranger.

We recommend hiring a porter to assist you in carrying your packed bag and any other items you may require while mountain gorilla trekking. Begin your forest walk in search of the endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitats after a pre-mountain gorilla trekking session.

It is unknown how long it will take you to meet your assigned mountain gorilla family. However, depending on the movements and location of the gorilla family you are assigned, it could take anywhere from 45 minutes to 4 hours. As a result, you should be physically and mentally prepared to walk a long distance through a hilly forest with no clear walking trails that are only made at that specific time of tracking by your guide, depending on the direction that can easily lead you to the location of the gorilla family. That is why it is recommended that you bring enough water to stay hydrated and snacks to keep you energized while walking through the forest in search of mountain gorillas.

When you find the mountain gorilla family, the thrill of seeing them in their natural habitat will outweigh the difficulties you faced while looking for them. A mountain gorilla family can consist of several members, including the giant silverback, who is always the family’s leader and protector, mothers, infants, and juveniles. The time you spend with the mountain gorillas allows you to learn about their behaviors, how they socialize, and be excited by their actions, such as the playful babies, mothers grooming their babies, and Mr. Silverback, who silently watches the situation as he prepares to defend the family from any kind of attack.

You will have a maximum of one hour with the mountain gorillas and will be free to take as many photos and record videos as you want to preserve your wonderful memories with the mountain gorilla family in the jungle. After an hour with the mountain gorilla family, you will return to the trekking start point to receive your mountain trekking certificate in recognition of your contribution to the conservation of Uganda’s endangered mountain gorillas.

The Batwa people used to live in the forests of Bwindi and Mgahinga before Uganda Wildlife Authority designated both as national parks to protect mountain gorillas, golden monkeys, and other wildlife species. As a result, the Batwa people were left homeless and unhappy because they were not used to living without forests where they could hunt small animals for meat and gather fruits.

As a result, the Batwa trail was established to demonstrate the Batwa way of life to the rest of the world and to preserve it for future Batwa generations to learn about their ancestors. The Batwa trail will take you back into the indigenous lifestyle of the Batwa people by demonstrating to you their hunting skills, how they used to build their houses using local materials, visiting the local doctor and collecting local herbs, visiting caves in the forest that used to be their hiding places during tribal wars, how to make fire from wood, and later being entertained by the woman. After spending some time with the Batwa pygmy people, return to the lodge to have lunch, refresh yourself, and relax and later early evening go for an adventurous boat riding safari on Lake Mutanda.

Lake Mutanda is the ideal place to unwind after a day of mountain gorilla trekking and other activities in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.

Lake Bunyonyi is framed by 29 islands of varying sizes across the water, creating the most magical view. Each of the 29 islands on Lake Bunyonyi has a unique and interesting story that your local guide will tell you about during your canoeing safari, such as the Akampene island, also known as the “punishment Island,” which was used by the Biga community to punish girls who would not behave properly.

As a result, poor men who couldn’t afford the bride price would come to this island to find free wives among those who could have been exiled to this island. In an African society, it is a disgrace for a girl to become pregnant before her official marriage, which would cause the family to lose community respect, so parents were strict with their girl children to protect them.

It’s an interesting experience to go out at night, and Lake Mburo is one of the best parks for a night game drive.

Here, the sun rises and sets rapidly and the temperatures and weather is largely constant all year through, take some memorial photos with one foot in the southern hemisphere and another one in the northern hemisphere which will give you an opportunity to take a photo while standing in both sides of the world at the same time. It is also said that while standing at the equator line, your body weight is reduced by about 3kgs so, you will have a chance to prove this statement right or false.
