What is the easiest gorilla family to trek?- Bwindi impenetrable National Park

This is yet another challenging question with different aspects to determine the easiest gorilla family to trek or hard among Gorilla families in Bwindi and Mgahinga that occupy mountainous vegetation,

Given the fact that they are endangered wild animals their movements tend to vary in the jungle searching for their shelter and thus at times slope down to the valleys making it easy to have an encounter with them, for those who have got that chance will witness to tell you that it was a quick trek.

Booking gorilla permit in different region and booking accommodation in another region is then another area which determines ease and difficulty in trekking. This then requires travelers to wake up very early to drive so that they reach at the starting point of trekking such gorilla families. In other words, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has four regions, namely Buhoma, Rushaga, Nkuringo and Ruhija. With different accommodation and tracking points, therefore we recommend our clients to seek advice so that we can prepare for them accommodation in the very regions there allocated permits for gorilla tracking.

More so booking an accessible gorilla family can be recommended by your travel consultant but this does not guarantee quick encounter to an easiest gorilla family to trek given the fact that the gorillas can move to rouged placed which are difficult to reach and will require some level of fitness to reach to the adventure however the only assured point is that chances of meeting these primates in their natural habitat is 99% where by the rangers are sent to the field early enough to track gorillas where they will have relocated and communicate for you to proceed with the adventure of meeting them in the forest.

Therefore there are two types of trekking, one where you go find gorillas next to the beginning of the forest or some that can be encountered along the way to the park and thus your driver guide can stop for few minutes for photography and observation before you reach the headquarters for actual tracking in the jungle although this is a rare case and it would just take about 30-60 minutes. The other is when you go deep into the forest to search for the gorillas but they would have been already followed by the rangers before you to easily locate them.

While tracking, take things easy and always ask for a stop if you feel you need it. Carry a lot of water which you tour operator will provide for you and some snack. With steeper hillsides, it can take you up to four hours before locating the gorillas. However, this should worry you less as guests are often divided into groups for easy, moderate and difficult treks all basing on the mobility of gorilla families for that particular day.
