Intrepid travellers have the option of visiting Uganda or Rwanda in an effort to see the critically endangered mountain gorillas, who live free in the forests. Track a family of gorillas with your expert guide, blazing a path deep into the thick forest. This unique Gorilla Safari will offer you a once in a life time experience.
