Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is yet to get a new Gorilla Tracking Site. According to the Dairy Monitor this achievement is scheduled for April this year. This will be the fourth Gorilla Tracking site added on the already existing ones of Nkuringo, Buhoma and Ruhija. It is said that UWA is doing this in order to increase the chances of tourists interested in tracking the almost extinct gentle giants. The new gorilla tracking site will be at Rushaga in Kisoro District where a gorilla group has already been habituated (exposed to people) and is almost ready for tracking. According to Bwindi’s conservation Manager Mr. Tumwesigye, The demand for gorilla trekking rwanda  permits is increased therefore prompting the introduction of a new tracking site. gorilla tours
However, before this site can start operating a few basic necessities such as toilets and shelters need to be put up according to Mr. Tumwesigye. Just like in the other three destinations currently running, Buhoma, Ruhija and Nkuringo, at Rushaga it will be possible for eight people to trek the uganda gorillas daily. The number of people tracking at Rushaga will be eight per day like with the other sites and the Gorilla permits for tracking at Rusaga will cost the same amount of US$500 for foreigners and 250,000/= for East Africans. Once Rushaga is operational, rwanda gorilla safari six out of Bwindi’s 28 gorilla groups would have been opened to tourism. One more has been habituated for scientific purposes. This achievement is going to see a lot of benefits to the tourism industry being that Gorilla tourism is carrying the banner of the most celebrated Green tourism activity in Uganda. There are a lot of clients who want to track Gorillas but because of the limited numbers of permits many of these have always missed the chance but with this new site and the recently introduced Bitukura group, more tourists are going to get this chance to track.uganda safari
