Gorilla Tracking (+2 days)

Journey to the great gentle giants, the mountain gorillas

+2 day add-on to your Ruwenzori trek

A trek leads to their habitat in the primeval forests, where we can observe these unique creatures in their natural environment. An experienced tracker from the national park will accompany a small group of up to eight people to the mountain gorillas, who will let us get close to them. This is only possible in Uganda, in the Bwindi National Park, or in the Virunga Mountains in the border triangle of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. There live the last remaining 700 mountain gorillas. Unlike the lowland gorillas of West Africa, which are somewhat smaller on average, mountain gorillas cannot be kept in captivity, so that only here in the national parks is it possible to observe these peaceful giants.
