Frequently Asked Questions

Gorilla Species

The gorilla is rated as the largest among the ape species. The gorillas (genus Gorilla) are humans’ closest cousins; this was proved by the zoologist’s study, which also relates to human evolution that dates back about 7 million years. In this closet, chimpanzees and bonobos also shared the talk. Here, the gorillas uphold about 98% of human genetic material (DNA).

The word “gorilla” originates from the Greek word gorilla, meaning ‘a lady with a hairy body.” Gorillas are hairy mammals, the largest among other primates. The species is considered to be the most intelligent among all mammals in the wild. The gorilla is a stocky mammal with a broad chest and shoulders; it has large human-like hands and tiny eyes set into hairless faces. LEARN MORE

Double gorilla trekking is possibly best when doing the same experience from different spots of tracking. Let’s say you change the sector of tracking within the same park or track from another park. Track gorillas consecutively from two parks; this is one of the most thrilling adventure trails in the world.

Mountain gorillas are an endangered species that is also endemic to only a few volcanic tropics within the Albertine Rift Valley.

Gorilla Habituation Experience in Uganda

Gorilla Habituation Experience is an exercise aimed at familiarizing humans with gorillas. The process concentrates on quenching the aggressive nature of gorillas for tourists who wish for an encounter. Gorillas are not ready for trekking until they’re fully habituated; this enables a close-up encounter with tourists without any harm from these giants. 

The habituation exercise included primatologists, zoologists, and researchers, together with park rangers. These groups of experts always bump into the thick, misty afro tropical forests and launch a follow-up activity for a newly discovered or splintered wild gorilla family. The follow-up exercise continued for a period of not more than 2 years until these experts realized that the gorillas were ready for trekking. 

When tracking gorillas, trekkers have to go closer to the apes within the limits of 7m. This is a shorter distance in case a silverback charges to attack, but because human presence is sometimes common to them, they may cause no harm to their charges. LEARN MORE
