East Africa Tour Packages -Encounter The Mountain Gorillas In Rwanda

Posted by Cyprien Semushi on December 18th, 2017

Rwanda a country located in East Africa is the tourism hotspot for people wishing to experience something unique. The most alluring, thrilling and adrenaline pumping experience of them all is, perhaps, a trek into the jungles of Rwanda to spot the elusive silverback gorillas. This majestic giant creature of the wild that lives the life of a hermit high up in the mountains is the center of attraction of the tourists coming to Rwanda. An amazing fact about these species is that no one even knew they existed until the early nineteenth century!

Through adventurous east Africa tour packages, you’ll see Silverback gorillas who are the residents of a protected park in Rwanda – the Volcanoes National Park – where they lead a peaceful, nomadic lifestyle by constructing a new nest every dusk using branches and leaves. The male silverback is called so because of the row of silver hair that grows on its back. These awe-inspiring beasts of the wild are amazingly powerful, big and surprisingly gentle to look at.

A day-long trek or an extended safari into the volcanoes gorilla national park will bring you the opportunity to witness the beauty of these creatures firsthand by yourself. Can there be any experience more magical than this? For the hard core explorers and wildlife enthusiasts, a safari into this Rwandan wilderness is promisingly more rewarding than anywhere else on the planet.

On your safari adventure into Rwandan forests, you will get to see about two hundred species of mountain gorillas that are now endangered. Forests of Rwanda are amongst the few spots where they are found now world over.

The trip starts mostly from Kigali airport, from where you are picked up and taken to an accommodation for freshening up and getting fueled with amazing local food. Base rangers then accompany you into the safari which begins at the foot of the mountains to where you drive and park the vehicles. The bonus of this safari is that you get to spend about an hour with the eight gorilla families that are available for the tourists to interact with – imagine standing face to face with Mountain Gorillas!

Don’t be surprised when you see gorillas – they can be as huge as over six feet with a wide torso and long arms. The majesty of these creatures will hold your gaze and forbid you to look anywhere else.

Don’t waste any more time and plan your trip to meet the adventurous mountain gorillas…think Rwandan safari!
