Africa is huge, mysterious and contains a mesmerising array of animals that are truly wild. But the Mountain gorilla only found in Africa's dense mountainous forests is the only one creature that holds a particular fascination. This magnificent beast is the real king of the jungle and is among the closest animals to humans on a genetic level. Indeed, it is surpassed in this respect only by bonobos and chimpanzees. Mountain gorillas are the largest species of primates that are ground dwelling and predominantly herbivores. Their social groups are complex and their behaviour is highly sophisticated and truly remarkable to witness. Gorilla trekking is today on every international traveller's "bucket list" and to be in the presence of these critically endangered species is a dream come true for many and is often regarded as one of the most thrilling and meaningful wildlife encounters on earth. It's the ultimate experience, very humbling and truly transformational.
To see these impressive primates in their natural habitats, our Mountain gorilla safari will be the perfect way to personally witness the wonders associated with them.
Securing permission to run gorilla safaris is a long and difficult process. As a reputable safari company, we believe in non-invasive, selective form of tourism that involves creating a magnificent holiday experience around permitted trekking into the gorillas’ habitat. Access is heavily regulated to interfere as little as possible with the gorillas’ natural way of life. We use specially trained local guides to make sure all gorilla treks are authorized, safely regulated and within boundaries set by various wildlife foundations and government agencies. Africa Safari Classics supports preservation of gorilla habitats and operate sanctioned, carefully planned gorilla treks to see one of nature’s most eminent animals in its natural home.
Hiking through misty bamboo forests to track the endangered mountain gorillas who roam freely in this habitat is an encounter that will create memories to stay with you forever.
