Where to See Mountain Gorillas in Africa
Mountain gorillas are only located in three nations in Africa: Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Uganda contains around fifty percent of the total population within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. In Congo, mountain gorillas inhabit Virunga National Park, but in Rwanda, they are located in Volcanoes National Park. These regions offer the appropriate habitat, ecology, and elevation (7,200–14,100 feet) for the flourishing of mountain gorillas. The elevated altitude fosters lush vegetation and is characterized by cold, overcast conditions. Lowland gorillas (Eastern and Western) inhabit the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, and many nations in West and Central Africa. The total population of western lowland gorillas exceeds 250,000, but that of eastern lowland gorillas is below 8,000. Mountain gorillas receive significant attention since they are unable to thrive in captivity, unlike lowland gorillas. The most recent gorilla census in 2018 revealed that approximately 1,004 mountain gorillas continue to inhabit the Earth. The mountain gorilla is classified as endangered by the IUCN for this reason.
