The Best Time of Year for Gorilla Trekking in Uganda. Gorilla trekking in Uganda is…
Susa Gorilla Family.
Susa Gorilla Family.
Loving family of Susa gorillas in Volcanoes National Park The Rwandan name comes from the River Susa, which flows through the territory where the mountain gorillas often reside. Because Dian Fossey researched this particular family of mountain gorillas at the Karisoke Research Centre in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National area, it is a well-known and historically significant group for mountain gorilla conservation efforts in the area.
If you’re in good shape and looking for a challenging gorilla family in Rwanda, you should ask to trek with the Susa family. They live in a higher part of Volcanoes National Park, making their treks exceedingly difficult. On occasion, they even block tourists from trekking with them. It used to be a real challenge to find this gorilla troop, but now the park officials have sent an advanced team into the bush to find them. They then coordinate with your present trail guide to make the lengthy trek much shorter.
Originally, the Susa gorilla family had the most mountain gorillas in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park. However, their numbers plummeted to three silverbacks and two sets of twins, Impano and Byishimo, as a result of gorilla dynamics, battles, and group separations caused by misunderstandings. You need to be more daring due to the lengthy treks if you want to walk with this family, which is one of the fortunate families who managed to produce twins.
There must be at least eight people trekking with the family every day, and once you see these endangered apes in their natural environment, you are only permitted one hour up close and personal with them. When the twin kids were little, seeing this gorilla family play and leap from tree to tree was a thrilling experience. Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda is the destination for gorilla trekking safaris organized by Monumental Expeditions and Safaris.
