If you want to see these unique and endangered
mountain Gorillas then Gorilla trekking in Rwanda is a must. The
incomparable volcanoes national park is without doubt one of the world's
greatest wildlife destinations and beat the delight of superb, year-round game
viewing let alone all the thrills of the Great mountain gorilla tracking.
Gorillas live in volcanoes national park—a
remote jungle that is wild and beautiful. Rwanda climate is hot and humid and
the rain can be relentless from September to November. The long dry season is
from June to August and is a good time to visit.
About 300 mountain Gorillas are thought
to survive and thus listed as highly endangered. In order to protect these
amazing creatures, primatologists Diany Fossey built two extremely comfortable
camps within Karisimbi area and initiated the habituation of Gorilla groups in
the forest.For more Info checkout www.rwandagorillassafari.com

Mountain View Gorilla Lodge is located at the
edge of volcanoes National Park where you will base to track mountain Gorillas
and it usually takes an attempt to get a good sighting. Gorillas are constantly
hunting for fruit and other foods but the trackers monitor the location of the
gorillas to make the tracking a little easier. Once your tracker spots
hand prints on a path or listens to alarming gorilla noise, then you are
ready for a remarkable experience
Gorilla viewing in Rwanda is limited to an hour
but it only takes that hour to feel you have gotten to know the characters
and personalities – watching the group play-fight in the trees, dig for roots
and nurse their babies. Adult male gorillas are usually very shy and there is
only one silverback per family. When a young male has matured, he leaves
and heads out alone to start a family of his own by enticing females from other
families to join him. The opportunity to watch these rare and fascinating
creatures in their natural habitat is a huge privilege.
