Full Hour with the Gorillas in Bwindi Forest
Tracking gorillas need some level of fitness, suitably equipped for a jungle hike, and healthy – you won’t be permitted to go trekking if you have a cold or similar illness in order to protect Gorillas against diseases which can be transmitted from visitors. It is a glance that in Africa, dry seasons are good for tracking gorillas because tarmac roads are not easily accessible in rainy seasons therefore, Mid-December to February and June to September – offer the most comfortable conditions for gorilla trekking.
In Africa, the chances of finding a gorilla family are extremely high because gorilla families are habituated and today the ranger guide can predict where to find gorilla groups depending on where they slept last night. Encounter gorillas in their natural habitat are exciting due to their dramatic exhibition. Meet gorillas enjoy them feeding, swing in the branches of trees, mothers breastfeeding their young ones among others. Sitting only a few meters from a gorilla and looking into its soft brown eyes is a spine-tingling experience not easily forgotten.
