The love of all living creatures is the noblest attribute of man – Charles Darwin
On the second part of the journey, we travel to Uganda for a Gorilla Trekking Expedition. In this extraordinary adventure, we traversed through lush rainforests and mist-covered mountains and come face to face with the critically endangered mountain gorillas. Witness these incredible creatures in their natural habitat, observing their social interactions and maybe discover a gorilla family. Experienced gorilla trackers and guides will navigate us through the rugged terrain and dense vegetation and educate on gorilla behaviour, conservation efforts, and the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures. Each moment spent with these gentle giants is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture their beauty and grace. While in Uganda, we also take the opportunity to explore the stunning landscapes of Uganda in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its biodiversity and pristine wilderness. By participating in gorilla trekking in Uganda, you directly contribute to the conservation of these endangered species and the protection of their habitat. Your visit supports local communities and ensures the long-term survival of mountain gorillas.
