GORILLA SAFARIS IN UGANDA

Trekking information

Physical Characteristics
The largest living primate in the world is the Gorilla. It is widely known that most gorillas are habitats in remote regions of the dense forests in the tropics of Africa. The mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei), was not even known to the science world until 1902.

The physical features of the mountain gorilla include the long and muscular arms, a massive chest, and broad hands and feet. This ape is one of the hairy race in the gorillas. Note that the thick black hair insulates it from the cold of living at high elevations. It is definitely the biggest primate of the chimpanzee, monkey and baboons

Habitat
Mountain gorillas live in four national parks, Bwindi national Park has half of the population of mountain gorillas The second population of mountain gorillas is found in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (Uganda)and Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda) and Virunga National Park -Southern Sector (DRC)

Behavior
Mountain gorillas are very much different from what we see in the camera films! they are rather gentle and shy These primates live in groups of 2 to 40 individuals, averaging about 11, headed by a Giant Male, called the Silver Back. The role of the silverback is to protect the group. He has absolute decision on where to forage, rest, sleep and also settle disputes among the members of the family

Uganda gorillas
Uganda is a safari country that has been prominently known as the land of the mountain gorillas. The famous national parks for the gorillas are bwindi and Mgahinga.
Mgahinga national park is located on the extreme section,deep in the south western part of Uganda or on the slopes of the Virungas. Besides trekking the gorillas, you can experience the sights and sounds of the leopard, bushback, buffalo and the golden monkeys.

Bwindi National is found in the south western part of Uganda, the pearl of Africa. About a half of the remaining mountain gorillas live here in this area of about 200 square miles with thick thickets of the impenetrable rainforest. As fun filled with adventure, trekking through this densely populated (by vegetation) area will expose to you various wildlife that you can never imagine. You will see the chimpanzee and variety of forest birds. If you are slow and very observant, the small insects, butterflies, and so much more is equally amazing!
