The mountain gorillas in this area are part of a population of approximately 1,000 individuals, found in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We will be tracking gorillas from one of eleven habituated family groups.
It’s important to note that the gorillas are not tame; they are completely wild animals. However, experienced guides will accompany us during the tracking process. These guides will rely on their knowledge of the gorillas’ habits and information gathered from the previous day to locate the group.
