Classic Africa Safaris is pleased to share the news that the Mukiza gorilla family welcomed a new baby this week! The family resides in the Ruhija sector of northern Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Congratulations to Mugwere, the proud mom, and the rest of the Mukiza family which now has 28 members.

Ruhija is approximate two hours from Buhoma area lodges and is home to four habituated gorilla families. Visitors trekking mountain gorillas hike in groups of a maximum of eight people and spend up to one hour observing the gorillas once they are located. Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to over 400 gorillas. Permits to trek the gorillas are $700 per permit, per trek in 2023.

Classic Africa Safaris’ Uganda 2023 gorilla fly-in extensions are now available. Please contact us for the travel trade NETT rate sheet.
