Visiting endangered silverback mountain gorillas can only be done in the Volcanoes National Park – Rwanda, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga National Park in Uganda and Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mountain gorilla silverbacks head a family of about 10-30 family members in a group which protects them from endangered species.

Plan for  silverback gorilla tracking in Bwindi and Mgahinga in the magnificent views of the mountains and the mist creeping over them is one of the most breath taking experience carefully traversing this wild terrain, relatively untouched and surprisingly open, after a few hours you find them. It’s a hard trek but under the guidance of the ranger guide confidently leading the way, leaving bent twigs and marks in the earth to enable you to find our way towards meeting the dominant silverback who heads the family. This will take you through the various trees but suddenly you forget that as you encounter these wild, but habituated, creatures playing, grooming and eating in their natural environment.

Once you reach the family you will have one hour observing them as their feeding contentedly, moving gently from bush to bush to find the juiciest leaves, snoozing and digesting as well as the silverback offering them protection from foreign danger. Unlike chimpanzee who can be highly strung and aggressive, gorilla are gentle vegetarians not prone to emotional outbursts. Still, merely being in their presence is overwhelmingly impressive and being eyeballed by one is almost heart stopping!

Infants and Juvenile gorillas will freely roll past visitors or even touch pants legs if they get close enough. The most fundamental memory about this adventure is watching their human-like emotions and mannerisms.
