Is Gorilla trekking worth the money?
- The experience is exciting
The majority of animals often fall into one of two groups, those that flee from people and those that will bite people who are unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong moment. However, gorillas are generally peaceful animals and would only attack people if they were seriously threatened. You will be able to enjoy the uncommon experience of viewing Gorillas.
- You are directly supporting conservation efforts
The endangered mountain gorilla is most at risk from habitat destruction due to the expansion of densely populated areas on the periphery of national parks and people’s desire to profit from logging and agriculture. The principal source of funding for their ongoing conservation is the revenue from gorilla trekking.
- The scenery is spectacular
A day of gorilla trekking entails several hours of strenuous travel in mountainous terrain with low humidity and thick forest. The difficulties of trekking here, though, are part of what make it such a rewarding trip, provided you have a base level of fitness.
