You’ll have to go to the far southern depths of Uganda to find the great galumphing beasts of the highlands: mountain gorillas.
The appropriately-named Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is one of the top places to find them too, with its indelibly green rainforests falling down from the windswept heights of cloud-shrouded volcanos.
The area buts up to the famous Virunga Range, and offers game sightings of rare mountain gorillas alongside other awesome creatures – think woodland elephants, golden monkeys, wild hogs and jackals.
Yep, you can see them in the DRC too, but things here just happen to be a little safer!
