Have you ever wondered how the king Kong looks like in its physicality or would you want to see the king Kong eye to eye? To most of us when they talk about gorillas what clicks in our mind is that gorillas are monsters and beasts that can endanger human life and most of us would never want to meet a gorilla at any one time. All I can say my friends this is a myth that needs to be erased from our minds.
This can only be done by you coming to Rwanda and take a gorilla tour where you can learn a lot about gorillas with a visual experience. Gorillas are really very awesome animals to visit. These primates almost behave like humans that is the way they feed their young ones, co-exist with one another and their shelter are really amazing. So if you want to feel the thrill of seeing a gorilla come to Rwanda’s Volcanoes Park in the Virunga region and visit one of the habituated family of gorillas.
While taking up a gorilla tour in Rwanda, there are guidelines undertaken tracking these primates for the reasons of conservation and preservation; the gorillas are supposed to be tracked by a person who is above 15 years, one must have a gorilla permit which is bought from Rwanda development board or from a tour operator/company, you must be able bodied since this is a vigorous and challenging activity where one has to use a lot of energy to pass through the forests and walk up and down the ranges of Virunga to find these gorillas.
So one taking up the tour has to put the latter in mind so that he doesn’t get any hardships or disappointments while on a gorilla safari. There are lots of interesting things one encounters while gorilla tracking like watching gorillas feed their young ones, playing and chasing themselves around, you can take pictures of gorillas but this has to be done without flashes of the camera and you will also enjoy a narrative and captivating story about the gorillas and the national park from the gorilla patron.
You can also opt to visit the Diana Fossey tomb and the research centre. This zoologist fought tooth and nail to save these gorillas in the 1940s. Had not been her, there would be no opportunity of gorilla trekking in Rwanda because they were in danger from the local people as they were being killed for settlement by the local people. As you are in the world of gorillas that is the Virunga, you can also visit the golden monkeys at the basement of volcanoes national park. There are also rare primates that are hard to find so you can have some optical nutrition by seeing these special monkeys.
Getting close to gorillas can make you wonder and believe the theory of mankind evolution from the apes because these creatures almost behave like humans.
