Stretching westward beneath the towering Rift Valley wall is Lake Manyara National Park, with a thin green strip of forest crowned with the steep 600 m high red and brown cliffs of the escarpment on one side and the blistering shores of an ancient soda lake on the other. The tree-climbing lions for which the park is famous seek refuge in the acacia woodlands, lazily basking on the branches during the heat of the day, a main attraction for many Africa safari tours. The Lake Manyara safaris offer more than just lions, being some of the memorable things to do in Africa, as elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and wildebeest awkwardly graze in open clearings.

You need to wake up early for Gorilla Tracking to enjoy a substantial breakfast before some vigorous exercise. Gorilla trekking is often included in many tailor-made Africa vacation packages and is considered one of the truly exciting highlights in many Africa safari tours. Every adventurer shows up for registration on the premises of the Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger station by 8 a.m. After the briefing of the rangers, your gorilla trek will begin. The trek lasts three to six hours; hence, a good level of fitness is needed, and a pair of sturdy walking boots or shoes. Are you ready for the time of your life? Then book one of our best-rated Africa safaris tours and get to become a true gorilla trekker!

The rangers will take you along the village gardens and into that jungle-like forest immersive experience characteristic of Africa trips. It will be along a sometimes thick bush, with one or two occasions of hacking thick underbrush with a machete while locating the gorillas. This kind of interaction with nature makes it one of the top things to do in Africa. The mountain gorillas are under 24-hour surveillance for their safety, thus providing you with near certainty in seeing them. Rangers keep a tight radio communication among themselves to monitor the whereabouts of each gorilla family. Join us for the most unusual thing to do in Africa on this unforgettable gorilla experience!

In the sky, there goes the very great eagle with black wings. Behind this huge black eagle, there comes a little speck of white coming into view. Because gorilla tourism has brought about a gradual increase in the population of gorillas, the species is still threatened by critical endangerment. Conservation-oriented African safaris have so far been key to their protection and are a home for responsible tourists from all over the world. Gorillas and humans almost share the same genetic constitution, and their health must be compromised by human diseases, for instance, through our food. You will also be told to keep a minimum distance of 7 meters from the gorillas so that human diseases are not transmitted to the gorillas. This set of ethical guidelines certainly makes gorilla trekking a prideful facet of sustainable Africa tours. Promote conservation on your travels by having African safaris that matter!

After you have located that gorilla family, the next step is to set aside your belongings and approach these gentle giants with your camera. The guides will explain the behavior of the animals and provide insights into what you are seeing. Maybe there are females with juveniles, juvenile males, or even dominant Silverbacks, all out feeding, playing, socializing, or just resting! Experiences like this are what personalize Africa tours and stay forever in a wildlife enthusiast's list of top trips to Africa. This gazelle encounter will be forever etched in your mind. They, in fact, may get a little inquisitive about your presence! Capture memories, join one of our memorable trips to Africa today!

After an hour's viewing of the gorillas, a slow and peaceful return is made toward the base. Should time allow after the tracking, you will be visiting the Batwa. This cultural interaction is a wonderful complement to both Africa safari tours and responsible Africa vacation packages. The Batwa are basically the first people of the forest whom people call the "pygmy" tribes. A trip to their community is among the more meaningful things to do in Africa, as it provides an opportunity for one to gaze at an ancient culture and way of life.

Go beyond wildlife and enrich your Africa vacation package with cultural experiences!
