Mountain gorilla trekking in Uganda

Dr S saves the mountain gorillas in Bwindi impenetrable forest national park. Without the money from tourists visiting the gorillas, their forest would turn into farmland.

We visited the Katwe group, led by the silverback Rwamute.

If enough people likes this video, Dr S will return!

Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda - Shongi

After our time in Mozambique, we headed up to Uganda for a glimpse of the gorillas in the mist. It was seriously awesome. A must-do for anyone traveling in the area. The Shongi family of gorillas was newly habituated to humans at the time and we got the opportunity to see about 15-20 of them at close distance. See for yourself... I shot all this on my Panasonic compact camera (ZS3) and made the music on my MacBook Pro.

4K | Ultimate African Safari and Gorilla Trek in Uganda

In 2018 I went on a safari trip in Uganda, the landlocked African country at the equator.
The journey started in Entebbe at Lake Vicoria and continued to Queen Elisabeth National Park with the broad Kazinga channel and the tree-dwelling lions. In the rain forest of the Kibale National Park I watched the chimpanzees in the tree tops. The highlight of the journey was the Mountain Gorilla trekking in the heart of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park next to the volcanoes of Virunga.
Further stops were at Lake Bunyonyi (world's fourth deepest lake), Lake Mburo National Park and the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre in Entebbe.
In the video you can see the notorious big five animals (lion, buffalo, rhino, elephant and leopard) in their natural habitat.

A special thanks goes to Mamaland Safaris:

Uganda & Rwanda: Kampala, rafting the Nile, mountain gorillas, and Kigali (2019)

Navigating the hustle and bustle of urban Kampala - the epitome of East Africa's population explosion.
Grade 5 whitewater rafting on the white Nile - the most extreme rapids a non-professional can go on.
Trekking with mountain gorillas in their natural habitat - only 1,000 left in the world, all are only found in this region (border of Uganda, Rwanda, and the DR Congo), and can only be seen in the wild as they cannot be kept in captivity. Exploring Rwanda's capital, Kigali - incredibly clean and much more modern than most may think. No wonder they call it the 'Singapore of Africa'. Then had a lay-over in actual Singapore on the way back.

Tips:

East Africa:
-bring plenty of USD, tours and hotels give discounts
-there's security checkpoints everywhere (malls, hotels etc)
-powerbanks, mosquito repellent
-be prepared to do your own laundry
-need Yellow Fever vaccination certificate to get in/out of many countries

Kampala:
-get around on SafeBoda motorbike taxis (don't even need to download app just flag them down)
-central/Gadafi mosque for good view of city
-Bahai temple worth visit (only 7 in world), don't let you take photos/videos though
-walk around old Kampala in morning, try 'rolex with 2 eggs' for breakfast
-The Lawns Wild Game BBQ restaurant for all sorts of game meat
-Acacia mall for modern shopping needs

Rafting on Jinja:
-highly highly recommend grade 5 full day extreme rafting at
-So well organised and beyond the adrenalin, the Nile scenery is stunning
-bring sunscreen with you - there's another boat where they'll store it for you
-actually, wear long sleeves as you get sun burned so much
-water is slow on many parts of the Nile so expect lots of rowing!

Gorilla tour in Bwindi Impenetrable national park:
-went with Monkey Adventures ($1.3k USD) for 3 day tour (day 1 mostly drive from Kampala to Bwindi area, day 2 gorilla trek, day 3 Bunyonyi lake and drive back)
-I arranged to get driven to Kigali (quite close to Kabale, near gorilla area) instead of back to Kampala
-wear gum boots, bring rain coat
-there's chance you won't get to see gorillas, in that case they offer you to come back next day for free so keep next day free just in case

Kigali:
-get around on motorbike taxis, very safe and they quote fair price. city is small so good to walk too
-start with genocide memorial, makes you appreciate how fast and far the country has transformed since
-rooftop bar on top of Ubumwe Grand Hotel
-Shokola storytellers cafe behind Kigali library
-convention centre nice in early evening
-try fish tacos at The Hut
