BIRDS DO IT...
Ugandan Mountain Gorillas
... Bees do it - and MOUNTAIN GORILLAS are doing it too!
The birth of a baby is always cause for celebration, and we are thrilled to bring you news on some new baby Gorillas born recently in Uganda.

In August and September two babies were born to the Bushaho and Bikyirigi families, and t he latest baby is just a week old! It was born to the Habinyanja group in early October.
We had some clients trek in Uganda last week and they saw the baby with the umbilical cord still attached. What a thrilling experience!
Why not join us for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see the Gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda?
WANT TO JOIN A GORILLA HABITUATION TEAM FOR A DAY?
Visit the Gorillas
The Ugandan Wildlife Authority has introduced Mountain Gorilla Habituation at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

This incredible experience is perfect for those who are looking for a complete 'Gorilla Immersion'.

Limited to just 4 people per day, this adventure has you going out with park rangers from dawn to dusk.
You'll spend all day in the forest, as the gorillas are mobile and you'd have to be fit enough to keep up with them. 
 
UPCOMING EVENT:
HOT AIR BALLOONING IN UGANDA
IMAGINE SOARING OVER THE AFRICAN SAVANNAH AT SUNRISE, AS THE WORLD AWAKENS BELOW YOU!

It is now possible to take a hot air balloon ride during your safari in Uganda's Queen Elizabeth National Park. 
 
Lift off is at 5:30am (weather permitting) to catch the sunrise and follow the winds for an hour's flight over the African plains. And at the landing site you are rewarded with a scrumptious champagne bush breakfast.
One of the best experiences - I promise!
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SEE THE GORILLAS?
When choosing a Gorilla Trek, your options lie between Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda and Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. Both have their ups and downs - pun intended!

But, deciding what time of year to visit these majestic creatures can have a big impact on both your experience and your wallet.  

Read this Blog about one trekker's life-changing experience in Rwanda, and then ask Christine Boecker to customize a Gorilla Safari that is just right for you!
 
It makes my heart sing, when I hear that some of the huge conservation efforts are paying off, be it with the growing Gorilla families in Uganda, the Desert Lions in Namibia, the Elephants in Tsavo, Kenya or the Big Cats Initiative world-wide! We are not out of the woods yet, however our grandchildren may actually be able to see these magnificent creatures in the wild after all. 

Recently I learned about the great work of a Belgian Prince, who's life's ambition it is to protect the Mountain Gorillas in the Dem.Republic of Congo. So inspiring! More on o ur Blog: Prince Rescues Gorillas 

Yours in Travel!
