We’re happy to announce that the Gondwana family is growing as we welcome two… gorillas!

Via the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and Research Centre we have adopted Nyirindekwe and his mother Bukima, who are part of the Musilikale family.

The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and Research Centre are the world's largest and longest-running organization that is fully dedicated to gorilla conservation.

Their approach involves close collaboration with local governments, communities, and partners from around the world with the aim of conserving. protecting, and studying gorillas and their habitats in Africa.

Everything they do is to help gorillas and people—an ethos we wholeheartedly support.

We’re so happy and proud to support the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and Research Centre. Our guests have such a fun and educational experience when we visit the Centre in Rwanda on our Gorilla Trekking tours

Check out their page to learn more about the incredible work—you may even spot some footage of Nyirindekwe and Bukima! If you’d like to support their work, or adopt a gorilla of your own, visit their website

Sometimes things get heated at the salmon run!

Watching bears fish for salmon is like watching nature's own reality show 📺

The bears take advantage of the plentiful resources of the salmon run to help them gain weight to get ready for hibernation. When survival is on the line, the stakes are high!
