Gorilla Trekking Uganda

RETURN OF NYAKAGEZI GORILLA TREKKING SAFARI GROUP IN MGAHINGA NATIONAL PARK Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is the smallest gorilla national park in the Uganda situated in Kisoro in south western Uganda, the national park is very important because it is one of the only two parks in Uganda that offer habitat for the endangered Mountain gorilla or Gorilla safari in Uganda Destination Mgahinga National Park was gazetted in 1991 and it is part of the great Virunga Conservation Area. It adjoins Rwanda's Volcano and the Democratic Republic of Congo's. The gorillas in this park, that is the Nyakagezi gorilla groups are made up of three silver backs, 2black backs and one female of the two black backs and they have been crossing in and out of Uganda, Rwanda and DRC. But however, the Uganda wildlife authority has reported that, the Gorilla family is back with two new members, the adult with a baby who were stolen from a gorilla group in Rwanda. This is great news for the gorilla group as the addition of another adult female will help to stabilize. The report shows that the groups are now happier and more relaxed. The full family group now includes Nyakagezi, the lead silverback who is around 50 years old and father to most of the group, 2 more silverbacks, brothers called Mark and Marfia, and 2 blackbacks who are also brothers, and sons of Nyakagezi. Rukondo and his brother are typical curious young males, they love to pose and play in the trees. The two females both have young babies, one, and another male of around 18 months, the other a baby girl of about 4 months.The group has been back in the Mgahinga National Park, they are now more reluctant to go back to Rwanda although they have sufficient food sources in Mgahinga, as the last time they crossed into Rwanda they were involved in a fight with another gorilla group.
