What is it like to Visit the Wild Mountain Gorillas in Uganda’s Bwindi?
In this blog, you will read about our Travel Consultant’s Gorilla Trekking Experience in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
Gorilla Trekking experience in Uganda is an absolute meet and greet experience between us and our closest relative the mountain gorillas in the jungle! I’ve been blessed to have one of the most amazing Gorilla Trekking experiences of my life and in the world while gorilla trekking Safari at Bwindi impenetrable National Park. I was with my colleagues, a group of 7 all afraid of the wild jungle but we took the risk because of the Gorilla curiosity coupled with the love for conservation.
As we continued our Gorilla Trekking experience in Bwindi National Park, we walked through the jungle amazed at how the environment was so calm and which ever songs the birds were singing they were great. It was as if there was a pattern; was it their communication? I have no idea. It was great far and near sounds of love and they must have been love songs. We had only walked for an hour or so minutes then we saw it, exactly what we wanted a gorilla, a baby gorilla swinging freely from tree to tree. I have never seen something full of life like this. It was just the beginning! we saw another and another surely not minding our presence and we had to be quite suppressing our excitement to take in the greatness.
The warmest sight was a mother gorilla carrying a baby gorilla on its back and the baby was resting peacefully with no worries. This mother gorilla view was an epitome of love. I was so close to them and i felt the connection, the tenderness, the warmth…Glorious! We kept seeing more and more as we moved up the hill. I was wowed at how the gorillas interacted peacefully and freely with Mother Nature and how experienced they were in this.
Meanwhile the clock was ticking and reality had to hit us as time was moving and moving so fast. We had a few minutes just to move back to the visitor Center. With our sticks, we moved back to sad reality as our guide told us more and more about the gorillas their distinctions and much more you’ll know if you go there. I yearned for more time, more hours with the most incredulous creatures on the planet and more minutes with nature. But that’s just how limited elated experiences are like. Value for time and money is at Bwindi. If you want a great outdoor mellow experience, book your “Hakuna Matata” Gorilla Trekking tour with Engabi tours and Travel.
