KYAMBURA GORGE; THE DARK VALLEY OF THE APES

Deep inside Queen Elizabeth National Park is a diversely compacted pocket called the “Valley of The Apes” because of the choruses of hundreds of Chimpanzees that reside in this forested vale.
The Kyambura Gorge stretches for just one (1) kilometer but pulls-in a great depth of wildlife for tourists to see including both fauna and flora species. Its flora diversity makes it one of the most sacredly diverse botanical locations in the entirety of Queen Elizabeth. Plant species, flowers and ferns blossom from the few rays of sun that penetrate the thick forest canopy.
This dewy valley is drenched by the clear waters of the Kyambura River which also feeds the plants and trees with water and mineral nutrients, enabling them to put on a think healthy-green color even during times of light showers in the other parts of Queen Elizabeth. Surprisingly these plants luxuriantly thrive even at a level below sea level.
This forested environment of the Kyambura gorge is the perfect hideout for man’s closest cousins, the chimpanzees. The chimps can’t imagine living in the other hotter parts of the park when the weather in the Kyambura Valley is nice and cool all year round.
Once you are inside the forest, you forget about the crazy world outside; you are finely hidden in a remarkable place. You will hear the chimpanzees gossiping amongst themselves about your entry into their territory while several other species of primates will clap and scream as they play around in the branches high above. If you stand still and keenly listen, you can also enjoy the harmonic songs of birds remixed by the panning screeches of crickets.
Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) has habituated some of the chimpanzees to human visits, so tourists may be fortunate enough to take a close-up photo of some incredible apes chilling on some of the dead wood that lies the valley’s floor. The greater number of the chimps however prefer to demonstrate their tricks from the trees above.
At the entrance to the forest is an ideal picnicking place where tourists can enjoy a bush lunch while keeping their cameras close to them in a manner not to miss monkeys playfully chasing one another, or a colorful butterfly flapping past their location.
This unimaginable stretch of forest forms an ideal place to spend a few private moments while on a Safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park. “Welcome to the Valley of the Apes”.

The only places to find the world’s unequaled species; the mountain gorillas– Uganda gorilla safari news

Over the years, we have come to agree that the world’s most famous but rarely seen species are the mountain gorillas; a nonpareil species that inhabits just a few tropical and subtropical forests of Africa. A lot is written about gorillas in general, making them seem like any other species that you would easily run into; but the mountain gorillas (the gorilla beringei beringei subspecies) are no ordinary species. Some their lowland counterparts the lowland gorillas of West Africa have been translocated to zoos where they have surprisingly been able to survive, but mountain gorillas would not make a long life in captivity.
According to census, there are more lowland gorillas in captivity than there are living freely in their natural habitat. Conversely, mountain gorillas can only be found in their natural habitats because of their endangered nature, and according to a 2012 census there are only 880 of them in the world.
Mountain gorillas can only be seen during gorilla tracking safaris to three countries located in east and central Africa (Rwanda Uganda and Congo DR). All these three countries have both wild and habituated mountain gorilla families and it is only the habituated families which can be visited by tourists. Congo has six (6) mountain gorilla families; Rwanda has ten (10) while Uganda has twelve (13).
Safaris to track mountain gorillas in Congo DR are only conducted in Virunga National Park (7,800 km²) which is part of the larger Virunga Conservation Area that is shared among the three countries (Uganda Rwanda and Congo). Congo has six habituated gorilla families which include Munyaga (7 individuals); Lulengo (6 members); Mapuwa (15 members); Humba (16 individuals); Rugendo (8 members) and Kabirirzi which is the largest of Congo’s habituated gorilla families with forty (40) individuals.
Tourists on Rwanda Gorilla safaris are able to track the invaluable mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park; also called “Parc National des Volcans”. The habituated gorillas include Umubano (11 members); Kwitonda (18 members); Karisimbi (15 individuals); Sabinyo (8 mountain gorillas); Amahoro (17 members); Bwenge (11 members); Agasha (which is also called “The Group of Thirteen” is a family of 13); Ugyenda (11 members) and Susa which includes two subgroups (one with 28 members while the other has 15 individuals) has forty (40) members making it the largest habituated mountain gorilla family in the world.
Uganda’s mountain gorillas can be found in two (2) National Parks in the southwestern part of the country. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has almost half of the world’s population of mountain gorillas and some of these gorillas live in Bwindi’s twelve (12) habituated mountain gorilla families. Eleven of these mountain gorilla families are open to Uganda gorilla tracking safari guests while the twelfth group called Kyaguriro is reserved for research by the Max Plank Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. The other families include Bweza, Mishaya, Rushegura, Habinyanja, Nshongi, Nkuringo, Oruogo, Mubare, Bitukura, Kahungye and Busingye.
Gorilla trekking safaris to Uganda can also lead to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park which has a single itinerant mountain gorilla family called Nyakagyezi led by an adventurous silverback called Mark. Despite its journeys to Congo DR and Rwanda, this family has been observed to settle more on the Ugandan side since 2012.
The blessed spotlight of mountain gorillas is only shone on these three countries (Congo, Rwanda and Uganda) but fortunately none of these countries is selfish about these treasures. Their doors are open to tourists from all countries who can spend a full hour with one of the habituated mountain gorilla groups. The experience of having a one-on-one encounter with the mountain gorillas can never be compared to any other.

Over half of Africa’s bird species represented in Uganda – Uganda safari news

 Hillary Bradt, an author and publisher once said that “Uganda’s birds have ornithologists doing cartwheels…” and you will surely coincide with her the moment you get off that plane at Entebbe International Airport. This is not sarcasm at all; Uganda has over half of Africa’s total count of bird species (over 1,100 species of birds). Whether you intend to or do not intend to see them, while on your Uganda Tour and Safari you will see quite a number of birds.
Uganda’s many ecosystems; wetland, forest and savanna ecosystems all harbor birds of many colors, sizes and melodies making Uganda a true birder’s pride. Even around the built environments like in Uganda’s Capital City (Kampala), tourists can observe over 330 bird species including the hammerkops, ducks, and gentle doves. Makerere University’s main campus and the Kabaka’s manmade Lake in Kampala attract a number of bird species including the commonly seen marabou stork, which Ugandans have called “The Unofficial National Bird”.
Safari and Tours guests to Uganda can enjoy sightings of up to 24 Albertine endemics and some other species that cannot be seen anywhere else but in Uganda like the Fox Weaver. Uganda has a variety of birding hubs like Queen Elizabeth National Park which has at least 600 bird species; Bwindi Impenetrable National park, 350 bird species and the most popular mountain gorilla trekking Safari destination in the world, Semuliki (441 species of birds), Lake Mburo (350 bird species) and Mgahinga National Parks (over 115 bird species).
A variety of bird species like the pelicans, herons, African Kingfishers, and the sporadic Shoebill Stork can be seen in Uganda’s wetlands like the Lake Victoria shores, around Lake Bunyonyi (which in English translates as “lake of the birds”), the Mabamba swamp; and flamingos can be found around the southwestern crater lakes of Munyanyange, Nyamunuuka and Maseche.
Safaris and tours steered towards the northeastern corner of Uganda will offer birders an opportunity to see both Africa’s largest bird of flight and the world’s largest flightless bird the Kori bustard and Ostrich respectively.When he was still the prime minister of the United Kingdom (UK), Sir Winston Churchill called Uganda “the Pearl of Africa” and this is a statement that you will readily agree with, after seeing the splendid nature of this country’s constituents. With some elements situated on the ground, in the waters and in the air; some being easy to see while others are camouflaged and require some more efforts to sight; the ancient and novel constituents all come together to support Churchill’s statement that Uganda is the most valuable of all Africa’s treasures.

Myth about Volcanoes national Park in Rwanda-Rwanda Safari News

  Volcanoes National Park famously known as Parc Nationaldes Volcans in French is located in Northwestern part of the land of thousand hills - Rwanda and frontiers Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda. The Gorilla safari destination in Rwanda is most popular as a paradise for the world endangered mountain gorilla and perfect home to five (5) of the eight spectacular volcanoes of the Virunga Massifs i.e. Karisimbi Volcano, Mt.Bisoke, Mountain Muhabura, Gahinga as well as the oldest Sabyinyo Volcano, which are covered /occupied in bamboo and rainforest.
The park was first established in 1925, as a small area covered by Karisimbi Volcanoes, Visoke and Mikeno Volcano’s. It was founded to protect and conserve the endangered Mountain gorillas from illegal poachers. This park was the very first National Park to be established in Africa and in 1967; it became the base for the American naturalist Dian Fossey who was carrying out her research about the Mountain gorillas. She started Karisoke Research Center between two Volcanoes of Karisimbi and Visoke. From then onwards, she spent most of her time in the park, and the fallen researcher is remembered for her efforts of saving the Mountain gorillas from serious threat of extinction by bringing their plight to the attention of the international community.
Covering 160kms of protected land, this precious national park was turned or made fighting grounds during the merciless Civil war which swept across Rwanda, with the park headquarters being invaded in 1992. During that time, the Karisoke research Center that was earlier on created by Dian Fossey was left and even all gorilla trekking and other activities were halted The tourists activities where not regained until year 1999 when the park area was declared safe and secure from the rebels.
Volcanoes National Park is one of the best parks with unique vegetation types that vary according to altitudinal range within the park. The lower slopes of the park are mainly dominated with montane forests which are under threat extinction due to increasing illegal poaching activities that were practiced in the park grounds. Between elevations of 2400 - 2500 m above sea level, there is Neoboutonia forest and from 2500- 3200 m above sea level, bamboo forest occurs, covering almost 30% of the park area. From an elevation of 2600 - 3600 m, Hagenia-Hypericum forest occur and these also covers 30% of the park. The vegetation from 3500 to 4200 m is characterized by rare Lobelia wollastonii, as well as unique plant life called lanurensis, plus Senecio erici-rosenii which cover about 25% of the park. The flora from 4300 to 4500 m is characterized with grassland, secondary thicket, marshes, meadows swamps and small lakes also occur.
The park is also most popular for the endangered species of the Mountain Gorilla that thrive in the hilly forested areas of the park. Probably the mountain gorilla account for the many Rwanda safaris under taken to the park. In addition to gorilla include other mammal species like golden monkey, herds of buffalo; black-fronted duiker as well as Spotted Hyena and bushbuck also exist in the park. For bird lovers, the park also houses almost 178 bird species and out of the total number 13 are anticipated to be found to the stunning Virunga Mountains.
Spanning in the middle of Central Africa, the impressive Volcanoes national park are among the most inspiring sights to be enjoyed in East Africa. Dian Fossey long ago wrote that “Visitor on Rwanda hiking safari when hiking so high up has to shiver more than he or she sweat”. The rough series of eight (8) peaks, summit projects so high to an elevation of 15,000 feet in some areas, and 5 of these peaks are sheltered within Volcanoes national park in Rwanda. The bottom of each is sheltered with dense rainforest, which later gives way to the stunning grassland as well as alpine moorland as you move higher.

Mountain gorilla conservation in Uganda; a positive endeavor – Uganda gorilla safari news

 For those interested in finding the perfect and unique thing to do while in Africa, Uganda Gorilla trekking safaris and tours are the most satisfying thing to do; they are the peak of any wildlife holiday that any traveler would ever want to have. Unfortunately even with the awesomeness of these species, their population greatly declined in the past to a small number; a reason why scientists labeled them as a “critically endangered” species.
In 2006 a report by the International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP) stated that there were only 302 mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park; a place which has actually for some time accommodated almost half of the world’s population. This was a number too small and if conservation efforts were not quickly undertaken, the population was bound to increase in its deterioration.
The lives of the Mountain gorillas are threatened by a number of predators, the highest of which has always been man. Humans mostly directly threaten mountain gorilla through poaching, which is mainly done by the settlements that live around their habitats. For example on17th June 2011, Mizano, a member of the Habinyanja family (which is a delight to Gorilla safari trackers in Uganda) was found dead, with evidence of spear wounds.
Indirectly, man has threatened the survival of mountain gorillas by destroying part of the impenetrable forest which provides a home to the mountain gorillas; habitat loss simply translates into stress on the survival of the gorillas. In Uganda this has not been as serious as it has been in the neighboring Virunga National Park of Congo DR and perhaps that’s the reason why Uganda holds the largest population of mountain gorillas in the world.
Fortunately, because of the cooperative efforts by both local and international conservation organizations, we have seen a steady increase in the numbers of gorilla individuals in Bwindi from the 302 in 2006 to the 400 which were recorded in the latest census carried out in 2012. This is a very good picture for the future of gorilla trekking tours and safaris in Uganda and we look forward to an increase in numbers in the next census.
The team of conservationists includes the Uganda Wildlife Authority; which is in charge of all National parks in Uganda; the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH), Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project; and the IGCP which is a coalition of the World Wildlife Fund and African Wildlife Foundation, Fauna & Flora International. These private and public sector foundations have extended aid in form of expertise, finances, research, treatment, and sensitization of the local communities about the significance of protecting the mountain gorilla species.
Today, the Bwindi Mountain Gorilla Population represents nearly half of the total population of the few mountain gorilla individuals that remain in our world today, and together with Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Uganda is able to house at least half of the 880 mountain gorillas in the world. Bwindi has twelve habituated mountain gorilla families spread out through its four (4) sectors and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park has one (1) family called Nyakagezi.
Habituation has greatly helped in studying the mountain gorilla species and this way, scientists have been able to ascertain ways in which to perfectly conserve them; one of Bwindi’s twelve (12) habituated families (the Kyaguriro mountain gorilla family) has even been set-aside for research alone.
Apart from the Kyaguriro mountain gorilla family, travelers on Uganda Mountain Gorilla Safaris can enjoy a trek along one of the trails in Mgahinga or Bwindi to track these invaluable species. And the fascinations of every individual safari will continue to cloud the minds of Uganda’s visitors. We are greatly thankful to all groups and individuals which have been part of the conservation struggle. The future is brighter that way!

Bwindi’s bweza mountain gorilla family – Uganda gorilla safari news

 Mountain Gorilla Trekking Safaris remain the finest experiences that visitors can ever have when they visit Africa in the countries of Uganda, Rwanda and Congo DR. Today the world only has 880 individuals (Gorillas) living in the wild (of course they cannot survive in captivity) and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has almost half of this total population. The “Bwindi Population” comprises of both wild and habituated mountain gorilla families. Trekkers can only visit eleven (11) of the twelve (12) habituated mountain gorilla families in Bwindi and Bweza is one of them. The twelfth (12th) family called Kyaguriro is strictly reserved for research purposes.
Although a calm and peaceable population, unrests have characterized the Bwindi population over the years; with some families wrestling with other mountain gorilla groups, some habituated families facing raids from wild mountain gorilla families; and it is also becoming common to see divisions among the habituated families. Such historical events and many more are explained by UWA ranger guides to Tours and Safari visitors in Uganda’s significant national park; Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The Bweza family is also a result of a secession struggle.
One account states that after a silverback called Mishaya broke away with ten (10) members of the Nshongi mountain gorilla family in 2010, another silverback called Bweza also chose to leave the Nshongi family (the largest mountain gorilla family to ever be habituated) to form his own. Another account narrates that when Mishaya left the Nshongi family, he left with Bweza who after living under Mishaya’s roof for two years, decided to break away with six (6) members to form his own family. Both these mountain gorilla families (Mishaya and Bweza) can be found when tracking mountain gorillas on a Safari in Uganda along the Rushaga trail-head where their parent mountain gorilla family Nshongi also lives.
When the Bweza silverback left to form his own family, the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) rangers thought he would soon return, but this has not happened until today. UWA decided to open the Bweza family to Uganda gorilla trekking safari visitors at the end of 2012.The formation of the Bweza family created availability for more tourists to also enjoy the awesomeness in mountain gorilla tracking; creating an additional eight (8) spots for tourists to fill in. The family is now settled and calm with a total number of nine (9) individuals who are still led by their founding father and alpha silver-back called Bweza.

The coolest beasts i know the mountain gorillas– Uganda safari news

We see them in brochures, we read so many articles about them, we have watched them a couple of times in movies like Dawn of the planet of the apes or King Kong; we are willing to sit still and watch a day-long documentary about them and we love to hear stories told by people who have met them. There is more to add to this list of many things we are willing to do for them, simply because they are the coolest beasts today.
I am not talking about the many smaller lowland gorillas that you will easily find on a Gorilla Safari adventure in western Africa, but I am referring to the few mountain gorillas (beringei beringei subspecies). Here’s why I think they are so cool.
The total number of Mountain gorillas in the world is below 900 individuals and these can only be found in three countries Uganda, Rwanda and Congo DR. Like celebrities, they are not individuals who you will easily come across every day but require series of preparation; if at all you get the opportunity of visiting them.
Mountain gorillas are profoundly strong. The power of a silverback (male mountain gorilla) is ten (10) times the strength of a heavy weight boxer on drugs. So mountain gorilla safari and tours visitors whether in Uganda, Rwanda or Congo ought to be careful not to annoy them. Though very strong, they are very calm and friendly animals.
Mountain gorillas have about 94% of the genetic composition of man. That’s why they behave in a manner very similar to our own. For example mountain gorillas mourn the loss of a loved one, so they have emotions. Also like humans most male mountain gorillas have a yearning for power and authority that cannot be extinguished. It sounds completely out of the world, but mountain gorillas take naps. Around lunch time, a number of mountain gorillas take a nap. Leaders of Mountain gorilla families also fight to defend their loved ones like men do; only that sometimes they go further to the point of death.Another cool thing about these species is that they open their homes to guests at any time of the year and they offer a daily full hour of complete dedication to their guests (tourists) once they arrive. Tourists who have been on Mountain gorilla tracking safaris and tours in Rwanda or Uganda can testify to this.
Did you know that by visiting a mountain gorilla family, you are contributing to the conservation of these outstanding species? Many people in the past have unknowingly supported this good cause. It does not matter whether you embark on Mountain gorilla tracking safaris and tours in Rwanda or Africa at large, but wherever you go; the money you pay for the gorilla permit will be injected in programs that toil towards rejuvenating the world’s coolest beasts!

Adventuring the Ugandan wilderness with the mihingo lodge – Uganda safari news

Craftily positioned on an acacia-forested Kopje in the Lake Mburo National Park area of southwestern Uganda, Mihingo Lodge offers the finest way to experience Uganda’s wilderness Safaris and tours. Like a hidden treasure the lodge is mystically built to blend with the environment so that only a few people can trace it and only those few can be rewarded with utmost luxury and comfort.
Lake Mburo is Uganda’s smallest National Park located about three hours and a half west of Kampala (Uganda’s Capital City) and provides habitats to over 68 mammalian species and 350 bird species; not forgetting the captivating vegetation which creates habitats for them and also provides food for them.
Mihingo lodge was founded by a duo of married Kenya-born Europeans (Ralph & Suni) who grew up with a relentless love for the African wilderness; “Ever since I was little I had dreamed of living in the bush.” Suni said and it did come to pass with the construction of Mihingo Lodge, which has accommodated a number of tourists on Uganda Safaris and tours to Lake Mburo National Park. With an experience of both Uganda and other parts of the world, Rlph and Suni have been able to create a “hybrid-lodge” that features the beauty of Africa and the western world.
The lodge houses its guests in ten self-contained rooms each with en-suite facilities and incredible vistas of the Park. Mihingo also offers her guest the opportunity to set up tents in the bush. Its meals are yummy and are served in a straw thatched building with ample room to relax; most of the ingredients for the recipes are organically sourced from the lodge’s own garden. Mihingo is eco-friendly using energy from the sun and harvesting its water from the rains that wet the park.
Its unique activities and games for tourists continue to present it as the dearest sleepover point for tourists on Safaris and Tours in Lake Mburo. Mihingo has an artistically crafted swimming pool which was dug into the rock outcrop looking towards the Park’s waterhole and saltlick where most of the park’s wildlife like the burchell’s zebras and antelopes congregate. The lodge also offers the only horseback safaris in Uganda in which tourists can get closer views of even the shy animals which normally retreat at the sound of the vehicle engines.
Parents on Safaris to Lake Mburo National Park can have some mommy and daddy quiet time as their kids enjoy lessons about nature in the bush. They need not to worry because their children will be in safe hands.
The lodge also offers other activities like running wild, bush biking, walking safaris, boat trips, cultural visits, yoga; and something to try out is their activity called “out of the ordinary”. With topnotch services offered by the skillful and warmhearted staff members, Mihingo remains the best way to experience Uganda’s wilderness.
