Mountain Gorillas Safaris
A gorilla safari in either Uganda or Rwanda enables our travellers to meet the endangered mountain gorillas which share 98% of the human DNA in their natural habitat for a lifetime experience. The magical hour spent in the presence of these great apes has been described by past travellers as one of the best wildlife experiences in the world. Mountain gorillas do not survive in captivity and therefore they cannot be found in any zoo anywhere in the world. Due to this, gorilla trekking is now the most popular tourist experience in Uganda and Rwanda attracting thousands of travellers to this part of the world.
