Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : -1.366886, 29.657687 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The following species can be found: Mountain Gorilla, Golden Monkey, Black and White Colobus, Blue Monkey, Buffalo, Forest Elephant, Leopards (rare), Warthog, Bushbuck, Ibis, Crowned Crane and many other species of avifauna present in Uganda. It is the place par excellence of the Gorillas and the Golden Monkey.

Recommended equipment : From the wide angle to the supertele, the important thing is to have quality equipment, very bright and tropicalized. Trekking in the equatorial forest on the Volcanoes Mgahinga (3474mt) and Muhavura (4127mt).

Best months : All year round, better to avoid the period of heavy rains (February-March and October-November). I visited the Park in July, in the middle of the dry season. Very pleasant temperature and trekking not difficult.

How to get there : From Italy you fly to Istanbul or Cairo. Then head to Entebbe (near Kampala). From Kampala you reach Kisoro (about 10 hours by Jeep). From Kisoro you can reach the various 'entrances' of the park in about 40 minutes by dirt-rocky-volcanic road.

Visits : You must book the entrance to the Gorilla Traking almost a year before, paying about $700 in tax. After that the recoiter for the pre-traking briefing is usually in the morning at 08.00. In this park there are more gorilla families, but only one is used to the presence of man. So the maximum number of participants per day for tracing-gorilla is 8 people. Once you have reached the records you will be with them the time of 1 hour.
