GORILLA SAFARIS
Supporting habitat conservation
in Uganda and Rwanda
Meet the endangered Mountain Gorillas
- an experience as humbling as it is thrilling!
Coming face-to-face with a family of wild gorillas in the tropical rain forests of central Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With a population of just over 1000 individuals, mountain gorillas are one of the most endangered animals in the world.
As their name implies, mountain gorillas inhabit forests high in the mountains of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda and the Virunga Mountains which border Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Trekking is highly restricted, allowing a limited number of trekkers to spend just one hour with a habituated gorilla family. Once your guide and tracker have located the gorillas, you get to watch the adults forage and groom each other while the babies tumble and play, all under the watchful gaze of the great silverback patriarch. Witnessing gorillas express typically human gestures and emotions is a truly profound experience and one of the reasons that gorilla trekking is such a life changing encounter.
By booking with TRΛVELBOECKER ΛDVENTURES you contribute directly to protecting mountain gorillas and to the conservation of rainforest habitat. Thanks to income derived directly from responsible tourism practices, the mountain gorilla population has increased over the past 5 years!
