Gorilla Trekking in Africa: Witness the eight main groups of gorillas in Rwanda

In Rwanda, primates can be seen in the Volcanoes National Park. As of 2015, there are mountain 7 gorilla groups that habituated making it 56 gorillas allowed to be seen by trekkers and visitors in Rwanda every single day. 

A lot of travelers enjoy guided gorilla trekking safaris in Rwanda. Bwindi National Park provides Rwanda safari companies. A company should be able to arrange the gorilla permit, book for accommodation close to the park, offer transport and also send a scanned copy of your gorilla tracking permit a few weeks before the tour. Make sure that the total cost of the safari per person includes the permit.

The trekkers should allegedly wake up early morning, meaning that you must find accommodation closer to the park entrance. The African gorilla guide will be briefing you about safety precautions as well as the etiquette. Together with other members of the group, you proceed to the forest and start the hike, which may be tiring for beginners.

Remember that they are called mountain gorillas so the aspect of hiking is a requirement. The adventure takes anything from 30 minutes up to a couple of hours. The English-speaking forest guides are seemingly good at handling their trekkers, and they would lead them to the specific habituated mountain gorilla group mentioned in Expert Africa, which certainly will be released with the human presence. There are currently eight main groups that can be tracked in Rwanda, which include the Susa, Sabinyo, Amahoro, Umubano, Hirwa, Kwitonda, Bwenge, and Group Thirteen.

According to Audley Travel, to track gorillas in Rwanda, one should be on Volcanoes National Park or Parc National des Volcans.  This is a section of the bigger Virunga mountains, which is approximately composed of 480 mountain gorillas in the Virunga complex. They live on the altitude range of 2,300 to 4,500 meters in the southern area of Virunga National Park  as well as the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, and some in Uganda's Mgahinga National Park.

Meanwhile, there are a number of mountain gorilla related activities, the most popular is the Kwita Izina ceremony of  naming gorillas, which is a yearly event where various celebrities are invited to this occasion. In addition, having the gorilla adventure during this time would be a chance to participate in this occassion. A lot of gorilla conservationists also exist in Rwanda, including the Dian Fossey Foundation to The International Gorilla Conservation Project.
