The Best 4×4 Car To Hire In Uganda For A Gorilla Safari Trip
A gorilla safari adventure is regarded as one of the best wildlife encounters by a majority of tourists mainly because of the fact that mountain gorillas are one of the most endangered species listed on the IUCN red list of threatened species but also because of the thrill you get when tracking them down in the wild. Uganda is one of the most popular safari destinations and the majority of tourists love Bwindi forest as its home to over half the population of mountain gorillas in the world. Mgahinga Park is another gorilla park in Uganda but not frequently visited as it is home to only one gorilla family which normally migrates to neighboring Rwanda.
Bwindi and Mgahinga National Parks are situated over 500km in the southwestern corner of Uganda and the best way to get there is if you rent a 4×4 car in Uganda on self drive option or with a driver-guide.
