Eco Tours Kenya offers tailor-made sustainable Kenya Rwanda tours to all the fragile Eco tourism destinations like Kenya Rwanda National Parks, reserves, forests, wetlands, cultural sites and beach holidays.
Reach out to all the Kenya and Rwanda National Parks, enjoy all the incredible shows in these parks not forgetting the world cup of wildlife in Maasai Mara as well as the great apes in Volcanoes National Park.
The Masai Mara is Kenya’s flagship park. Sightings of four of the Big Five are pretty much guaranteed. Black rhino is more elusive, but can sometimes be spotted in the Mara Triangle. The Masai Mara is one of the best parks for big cats, but sightings of smaller predators like bat-eared fox, black-backed jackal and spotted hyena also tend to be rewarding. Antelope include impala, reed buck, Thomson’s gazelle, eland and topi, while buffalo, elephant and giraffe are relaxed and easily spotted.
The legendary wildebeest migration is one of the world’s most amazing wildlife encounters. Sometime in July and August, millions of animals leave the Serengeti and head into the Maasai Mara around September. The crossing of the Mara River along the way is the most spectacular part of the migration. Around October, the migration slowly heads back into the Serengeti again.
It should be noted that, although the pattern is well known, the exact timing of the migration is unpredictable as animals move with the rain looking for greener pastures. The chances are 100 percent to unveil other national parks like Nakuru for the pink flamingoes, Samburu for Grevy’s zebra and Beisa oryx, Amboseli for elephants and many more depending on your taste of preference.
Cross to Rwanda for the rare apes in the Volcanoes National Park. In the whole world, you can only see the mountain gorillas (Gorilla Berengei Berengei) in Uganda, Rwanda and Congo.
In Rwanda, these primates can be seen in the Volcanoes National Park, Parc Nationale Des Volcanoes. As of 2016, there are 7 mountain gorilla groups habituated making it 56 gorilla permits for visitors to Rwanda available every single day 8 people per group can trek these endangered apes. Susa group is the best to track with 41 gorillas!
With a gorilla permit costing US $ 1500 per person per trek, part of your contribution goes to conserving these mountain gorillas. Even though the permit is raised there is two offers to tourists especially those traveling to Rwanda to attend conference permit cost $ 1275 USD and then if you are traveling to Rwanda in low season say from November – May and visiting another park the permit cost $ 1050 USD per person.
Therefore, if you are luxury tourist and feel like take extraordinary experiences with these mountain gorillas in the mist, take a personalized & exclusive mountain gorilla visit for a requested targeted gorilla family and this cost US$ 15,000 or take the behind-the-scenes experience with a minimum of 3 visitors for 3 consecutive days and this cost US$ 30,000
You have to wake up early morning, meaning that you must find accommodation closer to the park entrance. Your African gorilla guide will be briefing you at 7 am about safety precautions as well as the etiquette.
Together with other members of the group, you proceed to the forest and start the hike which may be tiring depending on your physical strength. Remember they are called mountain gorillas so an element of hiking is a must. The adventure takes anything from 30 minutes to a couple of hours.
The English-speaking Forest guides are amazingly good, and will lead you to the specific ‘habituated’ mountain gorilla group, which certainly will be acquitted to human presence. You can also check out for the cultural values as well as other national parks like Akagera for chimps.
