A Wildlife holiday is mostly about anticipation and requires a lot of patience. Occasionally something magical will happen. Here are some places around the world that offer a unique wildlife experience, that are rich and abundant in flora and fauna and have a high rate of sightings.

GORILLA TRACKING IN UGANDA

After a long trek up the mountains, visitors are only allowed to spend an hour with the mountain gorillas—but it could be one of the most exhilarating, emotional and humbling hour in your life. The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to around 340 of the 800 remaining mountain gorillas in the world. There are four areas—Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga and Nkuringo—where they can be tracked. You cannot find any mountain gorillas in any zoo across the planet as they have been known to not survive in detention. Take your time out and meet our ancestors.

Travel Tips Trekking gear and good quality walking boots are necessary for hikes. The sun is strong during the day even when cloudy, so always carry and wear sunscreen as well as a sun hat. 

Getting There Bwindi is well-connected by airfields at Kihihi and Kayonza for the northern area in addition to Nyakabande in Kisoro for people going to track mountain gorillas within the southern area. 

Where to stay There are numerous accommodation options around the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Visit www.bwindiforestnationalpark.com to choose your base. All details pertaining to accommodation can be found on the national park’s website. 

Best Season As the rains are less from May to February, most tourists prefer to visit during these months.
