Mountain gorilla safaris are turning out to be an exceedingly renowned option when seeking a substitute destination to the typical savanna experience such as Kenya’s Masai Mara or the Serengeti on a Tanzania safari. It is no surprise when you peep at the variety of gorilla safari trips on offer, the most standard being either a Uganda safari or a Rwanda safari.

A Uganda gorilla safari tour still tops the list of adventure lovers due to the fact that the gorillas are founded in 3 nations only - Uganda, Rwanda and The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The mountain gorillas are so rare that their existence to the next century is rather dubious. The recent slaughtering of the gorillas in the Virungas of Congo had decreased the number of gorillas even more.

Uganda Gorilla tracking safaris can be accomplished in both Mgahinga National Park and Bwindi forest National Park. Bwindi is usually termed as impassable due to its thickest and rather treacherous paths. The tropical rainforest is habitat to these mountain gorillas and other species. Forest birding & nature walking over the park is also adventurous.

“The gorillas reside in 2 main locations. One population dwells in the Virunga volcanic mountains of Central Africa – which is spilt over 3 diverse national parks. The other one is Bwindi Impenetrable Forest – which is often referred as the best area to witness mountain gorillas” said a spokesperson of Paradise Africa Safaris.

He further said “Gorillas are largest living monkeys. Regardless of their size, these massive primates share 98 to 99 percent of their DNA with human beings. The mountain gorillas are the 3rd most closely associated primate species following the 2 major chimpanzee species. Like different primate species, this close bonding guides to several human like personalities, and mountain gorillas are admired for their gentle nature and social interaction.

Gorilla families are made up of many age varieties, these comprise: newborn, 0-3 years; young three to five years; sub-adult, five to nine years; adult female, 9+ years, relying upon when she starts her menstruation cycle; black back, nine to twelve years; and silver back, more than 12 years.

Tracking gorillas in their natural habitat is such a pleasurable thing to do and you should be a part of it.
