An exquisite image of a large, male gorilla captured by @richard.degouveia Gorillas can be found in both Uganda and Rwanda and generally guests choose the country based on the experience they want to have and want they want to explore. Rwanda is seen as the much more expensive cousin of Uganda, with lodges catering to the upper echelons of society and those seeking a more luxurious landing. Rwanda’s park fees and permits are also significantly more expensive than Uganda. But not to be outdone, Uganda is a bit little grittier but no less sensational than Rwanda. What differs is also the ecosystems and habitats of where the gorillas live. The main difference is the landscape and vegetation. Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park is part of a dormant volcanic mountain range known as the Virungas, where gorillas primarily inhabit the a dense, bamboo forest zone. This setting provides open vegetation, making it ideal for easy, clear viewing of the gorillas. But in contrast, Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a tropical rainforest, which can sometimes make it more challenging to obtain clear views of the gorillas due to the denser vegetation but no less exciting. As it’s a rainforest, the cacophony of ‘jungle’ sounds is simply stunning as is the ecosystems that jostle together here. Rwanda has 12 trackable gorilla groups, while Uganda has over 25 groups in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and one group in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Uganda also offers more options for a broader safari experience, including Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks, while Rwanda is less established as a stand-alone safari destination but has some off-the-beaten-track gems. Best Time to Go you ask? The best time for gorilla trekking in both countries is during the dry seasons, from May/June to September and then December to February. What month is it now? Ohhhh June? We’re completely booked for this year, but there is always next year or 2026… #arcearth #travelwithpurpose #gorilla #gorillatrekking #rwanda #uganda #bwindi #volcanoesnationalpark #volcanoesnationalpark #virungas

Is the Great Migration on your bucket list? Read on for tips on where and when to go…. The Great Migration is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and is the annual journey of over 2 million wildebeest, plus smaller numbers of zebra, Grant’s gazelle, Thomson’s gazelle, eland and impala, in search of grazing and water. Moving in large loop, the route is mainly in the Serengeti in Tanzania with a short period in the north in the Masia Mara in Kenya. July to November is considered to be the best time to go, due to the location being the most accessible and sought after, due to the dramatic Mara River crossing. However, if seeing the jittery wildebeest making the perilous journey doesn’t appeal then visiting a little later in the season in October when there are less tourists may suit you better. Here is a brief summary of where the migration is throughout the key months: 🐊 June -July: the dry season starts with large numbers of animals in the Western Serengeti in Tanzania on the banks of the Grumeti River. They then head north towards the Mara River in the north of the Serengeti. The river crossing here is the most treacherous as the wildebeest try to dodge the snapping crocodiles on the river or the prowling big cats on the banks. 🦓 Aug – Oct: after they have crossed the Mara River, they move towards Kenya’s Masai Mara’s northern region with many remaining in north Serengeti. By the end of this period, they face the Mara River once again as they prepare to cross once again and head southbound. 🐆 Nov-Dec: moving south from Kenya, they move to the eastern limits of the Serengeti to an area known for outstanding cheetah sightings. By the end of the year, they are spread out through the east and the south. For a truly exclusive experience, I recommend a temporary camp with only 6 tents that moves between three prime locations throughout the season. 📧 For more information on safari itineraries in Tanzania and Kenya, DM me or message me at jo.briody@travelcounsellors.com. #africansafari #safari #africasafariexpert #trustedtravel
