GORILLA TRACKING:
Gorilla tracking ranks among one of the absolute highlight for a trip to Africa for most travelers and the experience of associating with man's closest kind is indescribable but Soul Touching!

Mountain Gorilla are one of the most endangered species/ apes and are estimated to be 880 left in the world with half the population in Uganda and the rest in Neighboring Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo


Best time to Visit Uganda:
Best time to visit Uganda for gorilla trekking is during the country's two dry seasons: January and February and from June to September. However Game viewing in Uganda's savannah parks is best at the end of the dry seasons - February and March and September/early October - when wildlife is concentrated around water sources. Bird watching is fantastic all year round but is at its peak between November and April when migrant species are present. We'd recommend avoiding a Uganda safari entirely during the heavy rains of April and May.

Best time to visit Rwanda:
The best time to visit Rwanda for a gorilla trek is during the short dry season from mid-December to early February or over the long dry season months of June to September. These periods offer by far the easiest hiking conditions and the lowest malaria risk. The best time for chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe Forest is during the two rainy seasons - mid-February to early June and mid-September to mid-December - as the apes are easier to locate. Food is harder to find in the dry seasons and the chimp families often range far into the forest interior.

What to Include in Your Bucket List while in East Africa!



Most bucket lists include things like, "Go on an adventure in a far-off land," "Learn a new language," or "Buy a dream House, etc." Although all these experiences can make our lives more exciting, the reason we crave these activities goes a little deeper inside our souls. I often crave for what will leave me  a changed soul and This is my advise when you Visit East Africa;

  • Visit the Gorilla's. These are our ancestors if you ever read Darwin origin of mankind
  • See the Big Five Animals before you kick the Bucket seriously i.e; Lion, Elephant, Bufallo, Rhinoceros, Leopard especially in the wild adventure
  • Cultural sites are a must see to understand the African origin/ dynasties and rest the many hypothesis fronted in various archives
  • Sleep in the Tented Camps in the Natural wild. Don't worry the Hynas will not pull off your legs as long as the Tent are will neated
  • Boat Cruise on the Nile the Longest River in the world stretching from Uganda, through South Sudan, Sudan and Egypt before finding its way in the Mediterranean Ocean
  • Water Rafting and Bungee Jumping for the strong hearted but worth a try in a Life time
  • Mountain Climbing if you still have some energy reserves. Mountains like Rwenzori, Elgon, Kenya and Kilimanjaro are worth it but you can also try the small mountains for a day adventure
  • Masai Mara wildebeest migration in Kenya is worth a must watch in the wild. see who survives to see another day across the Masai Mara river as Crocodile lay waiting to capture whatever fails to cross
Africa is highly endowed with a lot of Life Time Adventures that will Heal Your Soul and Body and you Relax during Your Holiday and if you may Ask me, Its relatively Cheaper to embrace a scope of adventures in Africa. For more information please visit: www.walmarkafricasafaris.com
