If you are planning for an African gorilla safari in Rwanda, DRC Congo and Uganda is so much amazing. In February 12-2016, I and my wife took tours in Rwanda and we visited the mountain gorillas in the 3 regions and we started with the first trek in Volcanoes National Park, the 2rd trek in the Virunga National Park with the experiential hike to Mount Nyiragongo and the visit the Senkwenkwe orphanage gorilla centre before we transferred to Uganda and we crossed via Cyanika border with our lunch en-route in Kisoro at Kisoro Junction and after we transferred to our camp which is situated at the edge of the forest reserve, close to the action with quick access to the point of hiking the top of the world viewing all the 3 Virunga mountains.

Then, the following day we prepared for the 3rd gorilla trekking in the Bwindi impenetrable national park and our family of visit was the “Bikingi family” which is a new family but amazing as it is found in the sloping terrains of the forest and it was so amazing walking by knees to spot the mountain gorillas in very steep slopes.

The Photography

There is no other place in Africa which boasts the density of primates and wildlife than that of the Uganda, Rwanda and DRC Congo. It is a photographers dream, and together with this, the peak and low season the gorilla trekking is amazing, we took amazing gorilla and wildlife photo safari in the volcanoes slopes and Bwindi national park and wildlife species in Queen Elizabeth National Park, chimps habituation and then to the Murchison falls national park where you can experience wildlife and the boat cruise along the River Nile! Then, on our way back to Kampala we took the en-route visit to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to experience the photographic Rhino tracking on foot and then have lunch, after we embarked our safari vehicle and transfer back to Kampala and we took our overnight at Cassia Lodge with the amazing view of Kampala city and the cool breeze of the Lake Victoria.

The Safari Vehicles

For the gorilla and wildlife photography, we were provided with spacious safari land cruisers and we were 3 clients in each car and each of us was provided a whole row of seats for each photographer, thus providing ample scope, space and flexibility for photography. For the 4x4s normally seating three people, we sat only three per 8 seater vehicle. Bean/rice bags are provided in each vehicle as is a provision to clamp tripod heads on the roof as well.

Accommodation in Safari Camps

For our entire African gorilla safari we stayed in the Eco lodges and camps, while in Rwanda we stayed at the luxury Mountain Gorilla View Lodge for the 2 nights and then when we crossed to DRC Virunga slopes we stayed at the Mikeno lodge and it is so spacious with the cool environment, then on the Uganda side we stayed at the Nkuringo Gorilla Camp Cottages and at our stay at this camp we experienced the hike to the world of the top! Therefore, I highly recommend traveling with Eco Tours Rwanda trading as Nature Adventure Africa Safaris Limited is reliable tour company which offers service quality in East Africa-Uganda, Rwanda, DRC Congo, Burundi, Kenya and Tanzania.
