Gorilla Trekking In Uganda, Rwanda & Congo 

One of the biggest attractions that draws tourists to East Africa is gorilla trekking. Less than 900 mountain gorillas remain on the earth, making them an endangered primate species, according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

It is necessary to travel to either Uganda, Rwanda, or the DR Congo to observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Many tourists who have made the walk to see the mountain gorillas have said that it was an experience of a lifetime. Travelers are recommended to have an early breakfast before heading to the briefing location where they are briefed about the mountain gorilla trekking adventure, which typically begins early in the morning. They are then divided into groups of no more than eight individuals, each belonging to a separate gorilla family or each being assigned a gorilla family to track from. The trekking exercise then kicks off , which can take anywhere from one to eight hours depending on the gorillas’ activity level, then takes place through the dense rainforests and bamboo forests in pursuit of the mountain gorillas. The tourists are only permitted to interact with the gorillas for a maximum of an hour after they first meet them.
