Hi @DaveMani, thank you for this great content about my country Uganda. I wanted to offer an unsolicited summary here for viewers who are planning a Gorilla trekking tour. I have tracked Gorillas twice in two Ugandan National Parks (Mgahinga and Bwindi). 1. Mountain Gorillas in the wild are only found in the Virunga Massif in East Africa. This volcanic region is shared by 3 countries (Uganda, Rwanda, and DRC) 2. Their total population according to recent census stands at approximately 1063. More than 50% live in Uganda at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National (this Park borders DRC) 3. Because of this, you stand a higher chance of encountering Mt. Gorillas in Uganda than Rwanda or DRC. Maghinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda borders Volcanoes National Park in Uganda. 4. A Mt. Gorilla trekking permit costs 50% less in Uganda than in Rwanda. Uganda is 95% safer than DRC (this is a fact not a flex - I wish DRC was safer) About me: I'm the founder of TourPlug - an online marketplace for group and private tours in Africa. We are only a few months old but we are working very first to onboard travel trade parts in 10 destinations in Africa starting with East Africa (our home). I was recently voted among the top 3 young tourism innovators in Africa. Thank you for reading and welcome to Africa.
Thank you for visit Uganda and exposing my country to the rest world. And also letting people outside there know why Uganda is known as "the pearl of Africa ".
As someone who has studied and followed mountain gorillas, this is "hands-down" the best video you guys have ever made! Yes, there are only 1,000 mountain gorillas in the wild to date, but I remember the days when there were only a little over 300. Thanks to the paying tourists, guides, and the park rangers, their numbers are slowly increasing. Thank you so much for this absolutely delightful video!! ❤🦍❤
Hey this means a lot. Thank you so much. I did my best to do a little in the video to make people understand that the gorilla tourism is actually a good thing. ❤️🦍
Proudly Ugandan,proudly African. Thank you Dave and your wife for making this Journey to Uganda. Why didn't i see this channel earlier enough. I have literally watched half of your all your videos the entire day. This is so nice really.
Amazing shots of these beautiful animals. I did gorilla trekking in Mgahinga and Bwindi national parks in Uganda. It is so humiliating experience to be close to the gentle giants. One of the best experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Thanks!
U guys enjoyed more Uganda than most tourists . Cos u chose to live like the locals. Interaction and blending is key to a joyous trip. The downtown, roadside foods and everything made ur trip one of my favorite videos to watch. Kudos
This video is truly my favorite! Watching the Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp with my two young boys on Father’s Day was such a special experience. They were absolutely amazed by the gorillas. Thank you for showcasing the beauty of Africa!
Absolutely brilliant and brings back so many happy memorable times we had at Bwindi in 2011 before climbing the Ruwenzori range to Mt Margherita. Thank you for doing this story well done to you both.
Greetings, i watched your RUclips video when you were crossing the border from Kenya into Uganda. Iam glad you enjoyed yourselves in Uganda. I have been to Queen Elizabeth national park & Murchison fall national park. I believe Bwindi is on my bucket list. Ron in Joburg SA.
Uganda my home. Thank you for this. Every bit of the video is a reminder of how I am blessed to belong. ❤ Thank you so very much for highlighting this awesomeness
Let's be honest I'm Ugandan although I haven't explored most of the places in my country but I can say that it's beautiful peaceful and welcoming people with good and fresh food thank guys for exposing our country to the world God blessed ❤
Guys .. that was just WOW .. and the way they keep the gorilla families safe .. 🙏🙏.. thank goodness for wildlife warriors 🥰🥰🥰.. thank you for sharing ❤
you should have asked to carry the baby gorrila home🤣🤣its so so beautiful ... as a Ugandan, thank you for promoting tourism and supporting the locals with good reviews... much love to you guys🥰🥰
Love the video! I tracked the same family a few weeks ago. They also stayed in the tree and eventually came down. Most magical encounter ever! And now I can't wait for the video with Brian and the Batwa! 🙌🥳
This was such a beautiful experience. We are going March 2025 and can’t wait! Watching them descend from the trees took my breath away. On a side note, where did Tracey get those hiking pants, I loved them! ❤
Hello, my green country, Uganda. I really miss you in Uganda. we eat fresh fruits, food, and meat, not frozen. I really miss breathing fresh air currently in Saudi Arabia, but there is too much smoking perfume. I miss Uganda
Thank you so much for sharing!! Seeing the gorillas are def on my bucket list! I plan on going to Virunga, though.....and also visiting the Gorilla Sanctuary there.
Thank you guys for your amazing job video after video, and thank you to the authorities of Uganda for take care of this majestics creatures. 9:00 Name of the song please?
The music choices that you make with your videos is brilliant. I started watching with your food version of Uganda and it was great. I love the details you share every now and then and the fact thay you act and at the same time direct is cool. You guys make a cute couple too. Oh and you might need a body camera holder maybe for more relaxed close up shots.... Otherwise thank you for choosing Uganda. ❤
There are so many bad things going on in the world and the media of courses pushes it in our faces, but I also love this side of the world that the media that you guys partake and showcase. This is a reminder that our world can be beautiful even when bad things are happening. This is so peaceful and feel like a breath of fresh air🥰🥰🥰
Thanks guys for entertaining us especially seeing you in a country where I was born in UGANDA , your videos are like a show to me these days , I think if i am not careful I will soon get adicted to your shows because if I dont watch them I start missing africa , I am so far away in uk and every time I see you guys in nairobi eating NYAMA CHOMA I just feel like as if I am there too and as a former footballer I do have lots of many good memories about african countries such as swaziland , kenya , tanzania , zimbabwe , mozambique , rwanda , egypt , it has been many years ago since I went to ZANZIBAR as a former footballer when we went to play against MIEMBENI and SMALL SIMBA , I would love to go back there again if GOD permits , may GOD bless you guys and please keep on entertaining us and my WISH for you is too hear that UV learned how to speak SWAHILI ,,, one more question for you guys , did you eat any matoke in UGANDA and have you ever eaten SUKUMA WIKI ???
9:00 took me to Tarzan. This is such an incredible and amazing experience, I love how you shared it ❤❤. The forest is so peaceful, nature can be awe inspiring until a spider lands on you.
