The Gentle Giants of Bwindi : Mountain Gorillas Apes of Bwindi
Gorillas, Chimpanzees, orangutans and humans all belong to the order of primates .Human share98.4%of their genetic material with gorillas and 98.8% with chimpanzees. Gorillas ,the largest of the great apes are divided into three sub species that include the western lowland gorillas and the Eastern low land gorillas. The Eastern and the Western low land gorillas were identified for science in 1847 and 1877 respectively. The subspecies- the mountain gorilla was identified for scientific purposes in the year 1903 and has gone on to be the Uganda's star attraction. Mountain gorillas are distinct from low land gorillas. They are larger ,have more hair ,a short truck,a broad chest and shoulders and also have a longer and slightly different noise shape. Mountain gorillas are born small, covered with black hair and usually weigh about 2.3 kilograms. Gorillas develop as twice as human babies with the mature female mother also under going a gestation period of nine months. They are unique species ,as a gorilla with an infant may not have another baby not until four years. Male and female gorillas between the ages of three and six years are classified as Juvenile. They increase in size and weight at similar rates for the first six years. On reaching six years most mountain gorillas weigh 68kg and usually four feet tall. The female mountain gorillas stop growing taller at around six years where as the males continue growing both in size and in weight till they reach the age of ten to eleven. Between the ages of six – ten the male ones have black hair and are referred to as the black backs. On reaching maturity which is usually between 10- 12 years, they develop silvery grey hair on their backs therefore referring to them as silver backs. The silver backs usually leave their parental group at the age of 11and then moves alone or in the company of the other males for a few years before managing to attract females from other groups to him hence forming his own family .Gorillas communicate through vocalizations. Twenty- five vocalization have been so far recognized with each one having its own particular meaning. As an element of their socialization ,they communicate through howls ,grunts ,barks and hoots .screams and roars signal alarm or warning and are often produced by silverbacks . They also communicate by beating on their chests or on the ground .This is done to show stature ,prevent fights or even scare opponents . However, even the infants beat their chests as a kind of displacement activity during play perhaps just to copy their elders. Mountain gorilla life is peace full and quite .It is from this that they have come to be Africa's gentle giants which has promoted gorilla safaris and tourism in general These gentle giants are found in the in the areas of Bwindi Impenetrable Ntional park and Mgahinga Gorilla National park in Uganda while in Rwanda they are confined in Parc des volcans and in Virunga Republic of Congo.
Silver back is a dominant male in a group about 12 or more gorillas that usually include females ,juveniles and other infants. On a good day ,you find them chewing leaves ,laughing and farting not only continuously but with a lot of contentment .They are diumal and nomadic ,sleeping each night in fresh nest built from leaves and branches. Mountin gorillas are primarily vegetarian with their menu composing bamboo, nettles and gallium being some of their favourites. They occasionally eat safari ants which are scooped in huge handfuls to stuff into the mouth until the safari ant bites over power them. Gorillas spend most of their time in travelling and foraging in search for food since plants and trees change with seasons .

Safaris to do while visiting Uganda
Uganda “The Pearl of Africa” now “Gifted by Nature” was
once described by Sir Winston Churchill
at the start of the last century in 1908,.. “has a unique description which cannot be close to
the truth….situated in the fertile heart of Africa, astride the Equator boasts
of wide diverse landscape, from rugged
snow capped mountains, the vast flatlands stretching to the horizon,
Uganda offers visitors a wealth of
breathtaking scenery” in his book “My Journey to Africa”.
Uganda gorilla Safaris and tracking form the pinnacle of
the tourism Industry in Uganda and East
Africa – Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda.
In terms of size, safari in Uganda is the richest country for birds
in Africa and forms best birding safaris in Africa. No other area in Africa can match its amazing diversity of habitats
and this richness is reflected in its
ever-burgeoning bird list of over 1000 species. Among est these are many special endangered birds such
as shoe bill stork, standard winged Night jar, the great blue Turaco, the Green broad bill and numerous
endemics of the Albertine Rift Valley
that are rare to find elsewhere. Uganda birding safaris and tours offer a lot and in single day can list more than 300 bird species.
Uganda has a unique description which cannot be close to
the truth…situated in the fertile heart
of Africa, astride the Equator boasts of wide diverse of landscape, from rugged snow capped
mountains, the vast flat lands stretching
to the horizon, Uganda offers visitors a wealth of breathtaking scenery , with range of broad savannah, rain forests to
arid – semi desert , plenty of wetlands
and abundant fresh rain forests. It is within such charming climate that has natured and protected the mountain
gorillas that still survive on earth.
It is estimated that not more than 1000 still survive on
earth and that those still surviving
live in the environs of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in south western part of Uganda. And Uganda has more than half of the gorilla population.
Every visitor coming to Uganda would wish to get into
contact with these gentle giants
moreover our cousins. Uganda should treat gorilla tracking as the pinnacle of the tourism
industry in the country if they are to continue attracting more numbers of
tourist visiting the country and increase
passes to isit these gentle giants. Below is my gorilla experience.
The spectacular
scenery of undulating hills, the legendary mountains of the moon- Rwenzoris that provide challenging
climbing expeditions and the Nile
offering challenging white water rafting. The warmth of Equator and
the cool
breezes of Natural forests and mist mountains generate a tender climate
throughout the year not to be enjoyed
anywhere else in Africa.
Our tours are fresh and focused. They offer fun,
adventure curiosity in
Our outstanding
national parks in the country. Our protected areas offer outstanding beauty with a variety of fauna
and flora. The geographical position
Uganda in the shadows of Great
Western and Eastern Rift Valleys give the country special climate zones of temperate, hot and wet, cool and dry, rainy
climates.
Throughout the
year and adversely supporting a variety of vegetation covering range of short savannah grassland, tall
savannah grassland tropical rainy forests
to high altitude moorland
vegetation. It has been quite unbelievable
to find ice caped tips on the mountains
of the moon at the same time lying along the
Equator.
Uganda’s tourism wealth
can be discovered in the following national parks:
• Queen
Elizabeth
• Murchison
Falls
• Mhgahinga,
• Semuliki,
Kidepo .
• Lake
Mburo National parks.
• Fresh
water Lakes, and Rivers and Islands – Ssese Islands
• Other
than parks there are natural forests- Budongo,Maramagambo,etc
Uganda’s cultural history has made it one of the most
visited by tourists. Culture here is
rich and dynamic dating from from 15th
century when the interlucustrine
kingdoms were formed. People here are very hospitable and
receptive to foreigners. Cultural
sites such as Kasubi Tombs , Uganda
Museum and Namugongo martyrs
shrines have attracted both local and international tourists.

Where is Uganda
Uganda is land locked country in Africa. Uganda
is located in the East African region that borders Kenya in the East, Tanzania,
Rwanda in the south , Sudan the north and in the west DRC Congo.
Uganda lies along the Equator and the famous lake Victoria the largest
fresh lake in the world is located here shared by the 3 east African countries.
Uganda is a beautiful
country with enviable flora and
fauna showcased at different spots and corners of its boundaries. It is home to
the biggest population of the prized Mountain Gorilla, the primate chimpanzees,
beautiful weather, source of the mighty River Nile, Africa's largest fresh
water body- Lake Victoria, lush greenery, landscapes, vast wildlife, birding
experiences, cultural showcase, Uganda is good for adventure safaris , peaceful the with the happiest people in the
world. This can be seen where you travel at beaming faces and throughout with enviable nightlife and much more.
When you encounter the world, yet you asked this question “where is Uganda” For us who are marketing Uganda for Uganda safaris tourism this question keeps on coming and this tells us that less is known about Uganda. A more serious marketing strategy could work to the advantage of the Pearl of Africa. At the Uganda stands in different Travel Expos this question arises in the tourism expos. However tour operators try to sell Uganda to buyers from all countries of the world. At one time Uganda was known for bad past associated with its dark past, identified with fallen statesman Idi Amin.
Some of the people who have visited our stall are ignorant about Uganda. Some of the tourism agents have asked us if Idi Amin is still living . Some still have stories about our dark past so we are telling them that that is part of our history but it is behind us and that we have a stable country and a diverse tourism product we as Travel Hemisphere as an indigenous tour operator we usually explain to potential tourists tending to come to Uganda.
Uganda needs all the showcasing it can get because it is under marketed and under exploited. "We have a diverse product. We have only been selling the primates, that is, the chimpanzees and gorillas but we have Mountain Rwenzori, the Victoria Nile, name it, the white water rafting in the Famous River Nile , the Ever best climate along the Equator where can find temperate conditions, the vast Savannah grasslands, Uganda is home of primates – mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, golden monkeys lots of monkey species and a 1000 bird species.

Ugandans and Namugongo Martyrs
Its
time again 3rd of June when
many people from all walks of like throng to Namugongo to pray for the Uganda
martyrs.
Many
people have walked the entire distance from
Gulu district about 300km on foot . Gulu
people are the chosen celebrant of year 2019. However its not only Gulu
people but people from al parts of Uganda as far as Zombo, a district near DR
Congo, to Kampala to honor the memory of 22 Catholic saints and the 23 Anglican
martyrs who lost their lives because of their faith between 1885 and 1887.
Many
people have been walking to this area place for last 3 – 4 year consecutively
showing how determined they are with their faith. James said “I last walked in
2016,” he has told us , adding that “I
walk because I want to identify myself with the martyrs who were killed at
Namugongo”.
“I also
want to pray to God to help me in some of my problems. Last time I got what I
prayed for at Namugongo”.
James
Ato is among thousands of pilgrims –
some older, most younger – who are trekking from within Uganda and beyond for
the annual Uganda Martyrs Day observance, set for June 3.
The
Uganda Episcopal Conference, the umbrella assembly of catholic bishops in
Uganda noted that apart from Ugandans, pilgrims are expected from the United
States, Nigeria, Mexico, Malawi, Italy, Zambia, Australia, Singapore, South
Africa, Ireland and United Kingdom.
The construction of the Uganda Martyrs’ Shrine began in
1967. It was completed and formally opened by the special Papal envoy, His Eminence
Sergio Cardinal Pignedoli on 3rd June 1975. Thanks to the late former
Archbishop Emmanuel Cardinal Nsubuga the author of the project, Dr. Danhinden
the Architect and the ROKO Construction for the wonderful work done. When Pope
John Paul II made a Pilgrimage to Namugongo on February 7, 1993, during his six
-day visit to Uganda (5th -10th February 1993), he elevated the Shrine to a
rank of a minor Basilica.
History
There are 24 Catholic Uganda Martyrs. The 22 martyrs were
killed between 1885 and 1887 by Kabaka (King) Mwanga of Buganda in the South of
Uganda; 13 of the martyrs were burnt to death at Namugongo. The twenty-two
martyrs were beatified by Pope Benedict XV on 6th June 1920 and canonized by
Pope Paul VI on 18th October 1964. The other 2 martyrs were speared to death in
Paimol, Gulu in the North of Uganda in October 1918. They were beatified by
Pope John Paul II on 20th October 2002.
There are also Anglican martyrs that were killed by King
Mwanga between 1885 and 1887 together with the Catholic martyrs. While paying
tribute to the 22 Catholic martyrs Pope Paul IV also paid tribute to the
Anglican martyrs in his homily at the canonisation. “And we do not wish to
forget”, he said ,”the others who, belonging to the Anglican confession, met death
for the name of Christ.”
All these martyrs are honoured on 3rd June every year and
that is the best time to
visit Uganda for safaris and enjoy , pray for yourself for blessings. Uganda is
therefore blessed with many other religion sites mainly in Buganda and Busoga
Uganda’s cultural history has made it one
of the most visited by
tourists. Culture here is rich and dynamic
dating from from 15th century when the interlucustrine kingdoms were formed.
People here are very hospitable and receptive to foreigners. Cultural sites such as Kasubi Tombs , Uganda Museum
and Namugongo martyrs shrines have
attracted both local and international
tourists
