This park is the home of half of the world's 600 remaining giant Mountain Gorillas, the rest live in nearby Virunga Volcanoes Conservation Area. Limited numbers of daily visitors scramble through the equatorial forests, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of these huge primates. There are three groups of gorillas living within the park who are used to visitors, the rest live as they would in the wild. Only six visitors at a time may visit the homes of these groups and for only an hour, so you had better hope they're in. Mountain Gorillas aren’t the only inhabitants of the forest, there are ten other primate species living in the park, including colubus monkeys, chimpanzees and baboons. The park has been nicknamed The Impenetrable Forest because the terrain is difficult, it’s hot and humid and the jungle is thick, but for many people the chance to see, or even hear or smell, a gorilla is worth the challenge.
