Trekking for gorillas


From one type of safari to another.  Many people often ask me if it is possible to visit the Great Apes from Kenya, Tanzania or any of the East African countries.  It is very easy to journey to either Rwanda or Uganda where one is able to visit these gentle giants.
 
Both countries allow an amazing insight into the lives and interactions of the highland gorilla.  Walking early in the morning through a damp forest, listening to the sounds overhead; of the birds and other small mammals.  Then suddenly a noise that seems different and a little scary at first.

You might find them sleepily interacting with the young.

Or perhaps in the canopy of the trees.

It is one of the most amazing experiences I have had so far.  Sitting close by and watching the gorillas is incredible!
 
What else to say other than one has to experience this once in ones life!!
