Rwanda offers one of the best world’s most profound wildlife encounters, the Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park. Home to roughly half of the remaining world’s Gorilla population. This experience is as exclusive as its transformative. There can be few more moving experiences than meeting the brown-eyed gaze of the endangered mountain Gorilla, this is what makes tracking Gorillas Africa one of people’s top bucket list experiences. You may have to trek for some hours for the reward of a 220kg Silverback but the euphoria of the hour long audience will match the anticipation. Uncontrolled hunting and the acceleration of human encroachment into its habitat means that the mountain gorilla is on the brink of extinction, however numbers are once again slowly increasing in Volcanoes National Park. The Gorillas are highly protected here at Volcanoes National Park hence the best place for Tracking the Gorillas.
