4 Days Gorilla Uganda Safari of Bwindi National Park
While it’s impossible not to be impressed by the size
of the gorillas – A mature mountain gorilla safaris sliver back weighs more than
400 pounds – Today gorillas have been habituated and seem to be
impressed by their human visitors when doing Uganda safaris. They spend their days eating bamboo
and other plants and the occasional mound of termites. A gorilla
silverback can eat up to 60 pounds a day. He needs the energy:
Silverback may have over ten adult females in his family, and tries to
mate with each of them every day to keep them from wandering off. The
silver back will seem unconcerned by the group’s arrival, but he usually
wants to make sure the humans knew who’s boss. Twice, when he thought
the team get too close, he may charged right way .
