Gorilla

Tracking the highly endangered Mountain Gorillas is one of the most exhilarating wildlife encounters one can have. Only an estimated 750 mountain gorillas are left in the wild, and can be found in Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Currently it is safe to trek in Bwindi, Mgahinga (both in Uganda), and in Parc National des Volcans (Volcanoes National Park) in Rwanda. Watching these gentle giants in their natural habitat is beyond comparison. If you wish to track gorillas, call your safari expert, toll-free 1-877-GO-ON-SAFARI (1-877-466-6723), and let us plan YOUR amazing safari to see the mountain gorillas. (It also combines easily as a three- to four day add-on excursion to any safari in Kenya or Tanzania.) – Video clip/pictures shot by Christine Eichin, Your Safari Expert, Above and Beyond Africa, in the Virunga mountains, while visiting the Sousa and the Hirwa gorilla groups mid January 2009 (Olympus SP550-UZ camera).
