Easy gorilla trekking in Uganda

Easy Gorilla trekking in Uganda by nature is unpredictable activity to determine how long people can walk before finding the mountain gorillas however the following factors can best explain the movement of mountain gorillas.

First and foremost gorillas cover a radius of 1 km per day if the following factors remain constant.

-Availability of food

Gorillas largely feed on vegetation, fruits, bucks, and once in a while they will feed on termites so if food is limited the gorilla families may cover more than the 1 km radius making the trekking harder.

-Interaction with other animals

Gorillas are largely territorial and the adult will defend his territory consisting of females, juveniles, and infants however if other families of gorillas intrude his territory he might move long distance making it harder and difficult to reach.
