A silverback gorilla appears through the undergrowth, ambling slowly on all fours and surveying its surroundings with a furrowed brow. Baby gorillas tumble with their siblings and clamber over their mother who lolls against a tree stump, absentmindedly picking nits out of another primate’s fur. These are the scenes you get when gorilla trekking in Uganda. Experienced guides know the mountain gorillas by name and, once located, afford clients one hour with these captivating creatures, which share more than 95% of our DNA.
