Exciting Activities to Explore in Uganda, Rwanda, Congo, Tanzania, and Kenya

Detailed guide on planning a gorilla tour from Egypt to Uganda, including travel routes and trekking options

Gorilla trekking is a major attraction in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In Uganda, it takes place in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park is another prime destination, located near the Virunga Mountains. In the DRC, gorilla trekking is offered in Virunga National Park and Kahuzi-Biéga National Park. These parks are home to endangered mountain and lowland gorillas. The trekking experience not only allows visitors to observe gorillas in their natural habitat but also supports conservation efforts and local communities through eco-tourism.

More Primates Tracking presents exhilarating prospects to track a multitude of primates in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Visitors to Kibale National Park in Uganda will encounter sights of chimpanzees in their own natural habitat, while the Volcanoes National Park of Rwanda is well noted for golden monkeys.

Visiting Uganda’s Mgahinga National Park and Congo’s Virunga National Park, travelers can find black and white colobus monkeys as well. Through beautiful rainforests and savannahs with expert trackers, this truly wonderful experience immerses guests deep within the lush rainforests with unforgettable encounters between these remarkable primates while supporting wildlife conservation efforts for the region.

Scenic view of East African landscapes featuring wildlife, hiking trails, and vibrant cultural experiences during a 30-days adventure

Wildlife viewing is much better when brought to the East African countries of Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. Uganda offers activities like going for the savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park, where majestic elephants, lions, and hippos thrive, or visiting Murchison Falls, the pride of which is its giraffes and Rothschild’s giraffes. Kenya has the Masai Mara, which is well-known for the Great Migration in which millions of wildebeests and zebras crawl across the Mara River with predator action. Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park produces the same unforgettable view, while the Ngorongoro Crater gives a special one-stop shop to experience the Big Five. Game drives in these locations, scenic views, and memorable experiences in nature make East Africa a magical wildlife paradise.

Hiking in the mountains of East Africa is an adventure you would wish to experience. It takes you through varied terrains; in the case of Uganda, for instance, the Rwenzori Mountains, or “Mountains of the Moon”, have snow-clad heights and glacial lakes ideal for seasoned mountaineers.

These include the renowned Virunga Mountains along which a treasure of scenery, all dramatic and volcanic, can be found in the Volcanoes National Park of Rwanda. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain and one among the seven summits worldwide, offers a suitable trek for some adventurous climb.

Not overlooking the rugged Mount Kenya, as it has many trails over its beautiful alpine landscape. Mount Elgon forms the boundary between Uganda and Kenya and has amazing caves and waterfalls. Peak Mountain Meru, together with Peak Mount Bisoke, adds more flavor into this region.

The rivers and lakes of East Africa offer a variety of alluring adventures for nature lovers and adventurists. Within the River Nile itself which takes its course from Uganda before becoming a mighty current, activities here include white-water rafting, kayaking, and boat cruise rides. Guests can also enjoy serene sunset cruises and birdwatching along its banks.

As the largest freshwater lake in Africa, Lake Victoria is an ideal fishing ground, especially for the prized Nile perch. Other activities include canoeing, hopping between islands, and discovering endearing local communities.

Some more lakes like Bunyonyi, Naivasha, or Tanganyika offer still more opportunities for peaceful boat rides, bird-watching, and one-sitting lake-side relaxation.
