Gorilla Safaris Uganda
The gorilla is the largest and most powerful of all living primates in the world but nevertheless, its peaceful and sociable.
Gorillas live in groups of ten to thirty females and their young ones with one or more mature males, called the silverbacks. Young adult males generally live alone, sometimes joining groups for short periods. Afterward, they resume their solitary existence. Occasionally they take females with them to mate and start their own groups. Each family group live within a fairly small area. However, groups that occupy the same area coexist peacefully.
Tour Packages to See the Gorillas
One way in which gorillas establish and reinforce bonds is by social grooming. One gorilla will groom the other by combing through its fur with its fingers and teeth. In addition to the cleanliness it promotes, social grooming allows close contact and touch between the animals.
Gorilla trekking is one of the world’s biggest attractions with about 650 remaining gorillas in the whole world. The trekking is a very captivating activity and involves walking in the wilderness in search of these great apes. The endangered mountain gorillas are almost extinct with the number shared between Bwindi impenetrable Forest, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park of Uganda, Parc de volcanoes National park of Rwanda and Virunga of Congo. There are currently four gorilla families habituated for tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable forest national park and these are Mubare (M), Habiyanja (H), Rushegura(R) and Nkuringo (N)
Only 32 tourists per day are allowed to track gorillas. 24 in Bwindi and 8 in Nkuringo gorillas’ family on the side of Kisolo. In Rwanda's Parc National des Volcans (PNV) covering a size of 125 Km2 of mountain forest and home to the six Virunga Volcanoes and the world famous mountain gorillas, the lushly forested slopes of the mountains form an appropriately dramatic natural setting for what is arguably the most poignant and memorable wildlife experience in the world, “the gorilla tracking”. The exhilarating climb to the gorilla’s natural habitat of shady bamboo forest offers fantastic views in all directions, before the trackers are immersed in the mysterious intimacy of the rainforest.
