Kosher Gorilla Trekking Safaris Experience in Uganda.
Kosher gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda offer one of the most extraordinary encounters in the forest, allowing Jews to see the mountain gorillas face to face in their natural habitats. Gorilla trekking is strictly not conducted on the Shabbat to observe Jewish traditions. Gorilla trekking is a guided activity led by knowledgeable guides who provide more insights about the park’s inhabitants encountered. Trekking begins early in the morning with a briefing about the rules and regulations, and participants are divided into groups of 8; each group is assigned a gorilla family to trek.
After they move into the forest in search of the endangered mountain gorillas, and this involves hiking through the steep slopes. Participants should first assess their level of fitness before travelling. Gorilla trekking takes between 2 and 6 hours depending on the location of the endangered mountain gorillas. Once located, participants are strictly given one hour to be with them and observe more about their behaviours. They will see them playing, feeding, silverbacks protecting their family members, and mothers taking care of the young ones, just like humans. Mountain gorillas are our closest relatives on earth, sharing 98% of human DNA. Seeing them in their natural habitats allows us to appreciate nature and fully connect with them.
