Our Popular Safari Types
When envisioning a safari, one likely imagines a large 4×4 vehicle traversing a dusty African route, filled with enthusiastic travellers excitedly scanning for wildlife. This is a prevalent form of safari; however, it is not the exclusive variety. Not all adventures are equivalent, nor are all travellers. You may have previously experienced the traditional game drive, or you might be envisioning an experience more customised to your interests, like photography, birdwatching, walking safaris, or tracking wildlife on horseback. Speciality safaris are relevant in this context. At Wild Josh Safaris, our knowledgeable guides and travel planners will assist in aligning you with a safari that suits your preferences, objectives, and comfort level. A specialist safari is not about conforming to the masses but rather about creating a uniquely personal experience. We have elaborated extensively on the many sorts of safaris we provide, and we strongly encourage you to review our example itineraries. Nonetheless, please note that all of our safaris are customized, indicating that we create African Safari itineraries specifically tailored to your preferences.
Gorilla Trekking
In the whole world, there are two mountain gorilla population only found in the rainforests of the Central East Africa region and the best places to see gorillas are Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda and Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. These three gorilla trekking destinations offer the best gorilla trekking safaris in the world. The only way to see gorillas in Africa is by going on a guided gorilla trekking tour in the lush rainforest jungles of Uganda and Rwanda. These East Africa countries offer the best opportunities to observe mountain gorillas, the most sought-after primate species in their natural habitat. Gorilla trekking as an experience involves hiking through dense forests, rivers, and marshes, led by experienced local trackers who know the whereabouts of gorillas. The trill of encountering these gentle giants with fur covered bodies in their natural home is unmatched. Watching majestic silverbacks, playful toddlers, and tender mothers is a scene straight out of an enchanting wilderness movie. To participate in gorilla trekking, you will need a gorilla permit issued by a Uganda Wildlife Authority in Uganda and Rwanda Development Board in Rwanda. These permits are essential for conservation efforts, as revenue generated from them directly supports habitat protection, research as well as anti-poaching initiatives. While mountain gorillas are the main primate attraction in East Africa, there is more to this breathtaking region, you can see lowland gorillas in the dense forests of Central and West Africa. However, the trekking infrastructure in these regions is more challenging and less accessible. Regardless of where you choose to go in Africa, whether Uganda, Rwanda and Congo, seeing gorillas in the wild is a truly magical experience that will leave you with forever lasting memories. Seeing the gorillas behind cages in Zoos isn’t as thrilling as seeing them free, roaming as far they wish to in their natural habitat
