Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
Nothing beats sitting in silence on the cold grounds of a Ugandan rainforest, just watching a gorilla family as they go about their day, stripping leaves from branches, and observing you in return with their liquid brown eyes.
A gorilla trek in Uganda can last anywhere between 2-10 hours and involves hiking through dense vegetation and steep slopes. Mountain gorillas live in high elevation and because of this, you will need plenty of water and a good pair of hiking boots. Bwindi is truly a rainforest! At one point we had to crawl on all fours because it was so slippery.

    What an experience! It's really weird but I way prefer Western Lowland gorillas to mountain gorillas. Strange preference.

    Thanks for trekking these mountain gorilla my friend, you really contributed on their conervation, because some of the money fro the trekking fees is used to pay rangers who protect these primates

    What a really amazing & informative vlog & what a great guide you have there!❤.I will be on the Serengeti in Tanzania in 10 weeks and my next trip after that is gorilla trekking in Rwanda.Your vlog has now presented a real conundrum for me in that now I'm seriously considering changing my itinerary so that I gorilla trek from the Ugandan side.A real debate going on in my head right now.

    I just looked him up, but I don't think he was with us that day. There were ~20 or so people, and I don't remember his face. Probably a different day.

    Congrats! You picked a good month. I heard February is relatively dry, so probably hot but not too humid. You definitely need to cover up though. There are alot of insects and flies. I just wore regular workout clothes (long sleeves, long pants) and was fine. Definitely wear long socks and a hood pair of hiking shoes! Its very slippery.

    great work but the statement about gorillas attacking absolutely when they feel threatened and throw the carcasses to the wayside is highly inflammatory and misrepresents them.....there is not a single case i am aware of where a gorilla attacked a human because "they feel threatened"......in fact the only 2 known attacks occurred AFTER the humans had stolen a baby and were trying to escape.....in reality if what you claim were true these type of treks would be impossible because there would be NO WAY to assure such interactions would not create the situations you claim would lead to attacks...these treks are only impossible because gorillas are predictable regarding their behavior and have shown themselves to be non-aggressive and non-threatening unless clearly provoked beyond any reasonable degree...A HUGE difference between "feeling threatened"....and being threatened....
