5GORILLA TRACKING IN RWANDA
Tracking the endangered mountain gorilla through the mysterious intimacy of the rainforest, alive with the calls of colorful birds and chattering of the rare golden monkey, is one of the most unique, memorable and life-changing travel experiences one can have in a lifetime.
Gorilla trekking takes place from Volcanoes National Park’s headquarters where you are allocated to one of the twelve habituated gorilla groups. Only eight visitors are allowed per gorilla group each day, and to minimize possible transmission of human diseases, visitors are asked to maintain a distance of 7m (about 22 feet) from the gorillas.
When visiting the scenic country of Italy, there are plenty of historic Italian palaces to see and explore for a glance into the past. While some palaces are private residences today, there are many that you can visit as a tourist.
