Silverback trekking in Uganda- When we think of Uganda, most people understand the peril of Africa’s perilous terrain. It is known for its endemic mountain gorillas, which has boosted its tourism industry. Mountain gorillas in Uganda live only in two national parks, which include Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. However, today we want to focus on the silver back in Uganda. The silverback is the male gorilla that is bigger and more muscular as compared to the female. The silverbacks always lead the group or the Gorilla family. The Silverbacks are leaders, and they play an exemplary role in the group that they head. In other words, they are responsible for creating and leading the gorilla family. In the wild, the silverbacks are very aggressive and sense danger well, so they can easily get irritated and fight.

Here, our gorilla safari packages will lead you to different destinations in Africa where you will be able to see the silver back. The Gorilla Trekking Experience takes you deep into Africa’s forested wildernesses of Bwindi, an isolated park in Uganda, Volcanoes National park in Rwanda, and Virunga  National park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Select from our various comprehensive Gorilla Safari itineraries provided on our site, or browse through to gain some ideas for your ideal expedition, and then contact us for assistance with putting together your plans to think up your own agenda.

The silverback can be found in two national parks in Uganda, namely Mgahinga and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. The backs of silverback gorillas feature a long silver line/seat of hair, long dark and dense hair, and shaggy skin covers that keep them warm in the cool temperature environment of the woods. With an enormous chest, wide huge feet, and hands, a silverback’s arms are longer and stronger than its legs. They are noted for their relentless efforts to find food throughout the day, and they generally fight to provide for their family.
