Gorillas in Uganda have been one of
its main tourist attractions and travelers come to this wonderful
country every year to see these endangered species. Gorilla viewing
permits have to be obtained early to avoid dissapointment as there
are only a restricted number available per day. The two main gorilla
viewing wildlife sanctuaries are Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Game
Park and Mgahinga National Park. You get to view these amazing primates in probably their last habitats here in Africa. The Safaris we organise take you one on one with primates that would otherwise be extinct save for these amazing African Safari Sanctuaries.
