Winter break gorilla trekking holidays – Budget Gorilla trekking safaris with Guaranteed Gorilla permits

Winter break gorilla trekking holidays – Uganda and Rwanda in Africa provides affordable and the best ideas when it comes to winter break holidays. During the months of December to February when the temperatures in Europe fall, Great Adventure Safaris is glad to assure you that we have a home away from home combine with great gorilla trekking experience in Uganda’s Bwindi impenetrable National Park and Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, the country of a thousand hills.

All those interested in gorilla trekking during their winter break holidays, you should visit Uganda and Rwanda.

Bwindi impenetrable National Park in Uganda is one of the places to book your winter break gorilla trekking tour to see habituated families of mountain gorillas in the wild. With over 18 habituated mountain gorilla groups located in different regions of the forest, Bwindi remains the leading forest with the highest number of mountain gorillas in the whole world. The recent census indicates that Bwindi impenetrable National Park has more than half the number of mountain gorillas there is in the whole world. For more information about Bwindi gorilla trekking tours please contact Great Adventures Safaris on email or watsApp.

Mgahinga National Park located in the southwestern part of Uganda on the boarders of Uganda, Rwanda and Democratic republic of Congo presents yet another opportunity for gorilla trekking during the winter season. Mgahinga National Park is a continuation of the three gorilla national parks of Virunga in DRC and Volcanoes National Park and as such these gorilla families move from one place to another since they don’t know our political boundaries. With one habituated gorilla family, Mgahinga has been seen as one National Park where mountain gorillas can be trekked with ease. Contact Great Adventure Safaris for details about Mgahinga gorilla tours.

Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, Rwanda is ranked number one when it comes to gorilla trekking in Africa. Great Adventure Safaris operates gorilla trekking holidays to see habituated gorillas in Volcanoes National Park. With over 10 habituated mountain gorilla families, there is no better way to spend your winter break with these rare and great apes in the natural setting.

A gorilla permit includes one hour with the gorillas, services of a ranger guide, park entry fees for Bwindi, Mgahinga and or Volcanoes National Park.
