Since 1902, when the mountain gorilla subspecies was discovered, the population has endured years of war, hunting, habitat destruction, and disease; threats so severe that it was once thought the mountain gorilla would be extinct by the end of the twentieth century.

Their heads and hands were cut off by poachers to be sold for a hefty price to foreigners. Heads were hung on the walls as a sign of power, while hands were used as ashtrays.

The Karisoke Research Center - currently known as Volcanoes National Park - shown in the video was established in 1967 by Dian Fossey as a conservation site for mountain gorillas in efforts to fight against poaching until her murder in 1985.

In 2005, in a bid to boost conservation and gorilla tours in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda introduced the annual baby naming ceremony for baby gorillas known as ‘Kwita Iziina’ which has seen great results in as far as gorilla population in volcanoes is concerned.

Currently, the total mountain gorilla population is estimated to be 1063 primates up from 254 in 1981.

Day with the Maasai

Originally residing in the jungles of Serengeti and Masai Mara, the Maasai have relocated after the establishment of the Serengeti National Park game reserve in the mid 1900’s. Many of whom have been employed by hotels in Zanzibar to represent their culture and spread the Maasai spirit among guests.

The gorilla trekking trip starts with a 2.5 hour drive from Kigali at 4:30 am arriving to Musanze at 7:00 am for registration and splitting to groups. Each group is guided to one of the ten gorilla families in the reserve.

The trek is not an easy one and requires some effort to hike up the mountains, but upon request, an individual can be assigned to a group visiting one of the gorilla families living closer to the registration center at the reserve. The hike can take up to 3 hours to reach the gorilla family and 3 hours back to the center.

Visitors are advised to wear gaiters, gloves, waterproof hiking shoes, and relaxed cargo pants as the hike may be on severe terrain.
