Alakara Travels takes you beyond the familiar path to Uganda’s cultures, connections, and landscapes.
Few travel experiences compare to standing a few meters away from a mountain gorilla in its natural habitat. Uganda is home to more than half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, and trekking into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park gives you the chance to witness their power, playfulness, and gentle nature up close. Surrounded by dense forest, the hike itself is part of the adventure—misty trails, bird calls, and the anticipation of what lies ahead. Finally locking eyes with a silverback or watching a baby tumble through the undergrowth is a moment that stays with you forever.
While gorillas are the highlight, Uganda’s forests hold many more treasures. Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest offers a different but equally fascinating experience, filled with energy, noise, and constant movement. Golden monkeys and other primates in Mgahinga add even more variety, showing the country’s remarkable biodiversity. Combined, these encounters reveal a side of Africa that goes far beyond the savannah, immersing you in landscapes alive with wildlife, culture, and unforgettable stories
