Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

If you are thinking about taking a wildlife safari or any adventure vacation and you like animals why not do something different and visit the rare mountain gorillas in Africa? Well, do you know that there are just about 1000 mountain gorillas left in the world? Do you know that there are only three countries in the world where the mountain gorillas are found? Do you know that these apes are classified as endangered and really need your efforts in order to survive? There are about 1000 mountain gorillas left in the world surviving within only three African countries; Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire). Unlike their counterparts the lowland gorillas, there are no mountain gorillas in the zoos and to see them, you have to take an African safari to one of these three African countries!

Therefore if you are an adventurer who loves animal safaris most especially trips that focus on primates and apes, then you might enjoy going to exotic gorilla trekking safaris. This special get away is incomparable to going to the zoo and indeed it is a better, thrilling and extra ordinary experience. On a gorilla trekking through the parks that host the mountain gorillas, you will actually get to see the animals in their natural habitat, get close with the gentle giants, see them eye to eye this time in their natural wild.

In other words, you will see how they really interact with themselves, other animals, and nature. This is much more authentic than going to a zoo where the animals are held in captivity. You will get to see them up close just as you would in a zoo, but more real and exciting. You will get to see them through your safari vehicle. In other words, you will be driving right up to them and observing them through the windows of your car. Do not entice the animals and you will be safe and sound.
