Gorilla Safari
Track the gorillas of Uganda located in Bwindi impenetrable forest National Park.
The gorilla’s behavior is very similar to that of man. Each family of gorillas is headed by a male silver back who is greatly respected.
The male silverback and his family may consist of up to 12 members. All the females belong to him. Unlike humans, the female’s pregnancy lasts for 8 months and they tend to be very protective of their young.
The most interesting thing about gorillas is their lifestyle. They can move for up to 10kms a day. Each night the gorillas make new nests on the ground. Gorillas are decent animals but may be dangerous if provoked
