UGANDA GORILLA SAFARIS AND TOURS

Gorillas once inhabited the entire rainforest that stretched from the coast of West Africa to the western arm of the Great Rift Valley. During the Ice Age, the climate dried out and the extensive forests receded into two pockets; the gorillas became divided into the Western and Eastern populations, which then developed into three subspecies: the Western Lowland Gorilla lives in the lowland rainforests of West Africa (Congo, Cameroon, Gabon), the Eastern Lowland Gorilla inhabits the forests of eastern Congo, and the Eastern Mountain Gorilla is found only in the Ugandan Bwindi forests and the Rwandan Virunga volcanoes.

The Eastern Mountain Gorilla is one of the world's rarest animals. Only about 600 remain in the entire world, with approximately half that population in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda and half in the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Rwanda. Since these animals cannot live in captivity and there are none in zoos, the only way to see them is in their natural habitat.
