, Uganda Wildlife Authority is offering an extended experience that is not gorilla tracking but allows much time…
Mountain Gorillas are high altitude species surviving in the Virunga Chain (which is shared amongst Uganda, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo) and in the southern part of the Albertine Rift Valley in Bwindi Impenetrable national park and their population is less than 2000 individuals. By far, one of the most amazing creatures that most travelers would love to encounter are the mountain gorillas found in the Virunga ranges in Congo’s Virunga National park, Rwanda’s Volcanoes National park and Uganda’s Mgahinga gorilla and Bwindi Impenetrable national parks in the Kigezi highlands.
Due, to their adaptation to high altitudes, mountain gorillas can’t survive in zoos or in captivity so to have a peek, you will definitely have to trek into any of the mentioned rainforests. Everyday travelers venture into these forest for gorilla tracking to experience the one of life’s greatest moments and that is having 60 minutes sitting in the cold lounge of a mountain gorilla family deep in the dense forests as they observe these gentle primates as they go about their day.
