Only about 800 mountain gorillas still exist today. They survive in only two locations - the Virunga range of volcanic mountains on the borders of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda.
Gorilla treks are highly regulated in order to protect these elusive creatures. The only way to visit these endangered great apes is through an organized tour. Only a very limited number of permits are sold per day and human interaction is restricted to one hour to minimalize interference with the mountain gorillas daily life.
Park rangers, who are very familiar with the forest inhabitants and are experts in wildlife behavior, accompany you on your trek.
