| Visiting Africa’s primates is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding experiences we organise and a face to face encounter with a mountain gorilla, the world’s largest living primate, is a once in a lifetime experience.
With increasing populations and stable habituated family groups, there’s never been a better time to plan a gorilla safari, and until July this year we can offer a 20% discount on trips taken within 45 days of booking. To protect the gorillas, the number of visitor permits is extremely limited. Please see our website to begin planning now or call us for more detailed information on gorilla safaris.
Here’s what those from the Aardvark team who’ve tracked the gorillas have to say: |
| "Spending an hour in the company of such powerful relatives is incredibly exhilarating making the effort involved in finding them seem irrelevant."
Francis |
|
| "I had a curious baby gorilla play with my shoelaces before the ranger put a stop to it – one of the most touching wildlife encounters ever."
Kota |
|
|
|
| "Gorillas aren't really built to go downhill across open fields, but as we watched them on the terraces just outside the national park they'd take a couple of steps and then tumble into a forward roll - effective but certainly not what I expected!"
Richard |
|
| "I didn’t know what to expect as I climbed the mountain but what we came across was a fascinating group of humanlike creatures from the enormous silverback to the cute and cuddly babies playing all around us."
Clare |
|
|
|
| "A full day’s steep, muddy trek, and the gorillas were scattered and on the move. Not a photographic opportunity but very exciting to hear them calling as they flashed past at close range. The highlight of my second sighting was watching a year old gorilla do a drum roll on his chest impersonating the silverback."
Victoria |
|
| "Put simply, the gorillas, people and scenery far exceeded my expectations and is still, over 10 years later, in my top three most special experiences in 20 years of visiting Africa. If you have a chance to go, just do it, whatever it takes, it is a truly special experience."
