Know before you go
  • The gorilla trekking experience in Uganda is worth all the money you’ll spend because once you sit a few meters from a four-hundred-pound silverback and his whole family, the world comes alive, and your view of the natural world is changed forever. You’ll then better relate with world creatures humans have so feared for thousands of years. The experience will stay will you for a lifetime, and that’s not the kind of thing you put a price tag on or buy at your favorite store.
