Gorilla Tracking in A sedan Chair in East Africa
Gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda is for everyone except the sick and children below the age of 15. Age and disability should not be an excuse for you to miss out on gorilla trekking simply because you think you cannot trek up to where the gorillas will be. Gorilla trekking sedan chairs are available and have helped many to see gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable national Park and Volcanoes National Park in Uganda and Rwanda respectively. Muleni Safaris Uganda does not only organize gorilla tours for the young and energetic but also for the old and disabled people whose dream is to meet the giant mountain gorillas when in East Africa.
Gorilla trekking sedan chairs are paid for separately and will depend on the distance covered to find the gorillas and then back plus the weight of the client in question. The cost may range between USD350-500. This involves the cost of the people (Porters) who will carry you to and from the gorillas to make sure that you achieve your dream of getting face to face with the rare and endangered mountain gorillas. There several gorilla trekking sedan chairs in all regions of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Buhoma, Ruhija, Nkuringo and Rushaga) but they require advance booking.
