Uganda’s star attraction is the endangered mountain gorilla, the bulkiest of living primates, and among the most peaceable.
Staring into the pensive brown eyes of these gentle giants, who share 95% of their genes with humans, is as humbling as it is thrilling; no less so when one realises that fewer than 700 individuals survive, divided between Bwindi National Park and the Virunga Mountains.
Within Uganda, five habituated gorilla troops – four in Bwindi and one in Mgahinga National Park.
