#WildStories
Gorilla tourism sustains local economies. This means that the locals are fiercely protective of the primates, and the Gorillas, in turn, don't fear humans. You're not allowed to approach them, but it is not unusual for a baby gorilla to run to you to check you out!

2. December to February:

FAQ's about Kenya
The currency in Uganda is the Ugandan Shilling (UGX), and in Rwanda, it is the Rwandan Franc (RWF). While credit cards are accepted in urban areas, it's advisable to carry local currency for more remote locations.
The rainy season normally lasts from March until May. While gorillas may relocate to lower heights, improving visibility, visitors can expect rain.
Both countries offer diverse wildlife experiences, including safaris to see the Big Five, chimpanzee trekking, and bird watching. Each destination provides a unique blend of ecosystems and fauna for an enriching wildlife encounter.
