Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Across the steep ridges of the Albertine Rift Valley, this ancient rainforest stands as one of the few places in Africa to have survived and even flourished through the last Ice Age. Home to roughly half of the world’s mountain gorillas, Bwindi has about 90 mammal species, including 11 primates, a broad biodiversity, and an altitude span from 3,806 to 8,553 feet.
Endangered Gorillas – The Virunga Project
The Virunga Gorilla Project, sponsored by Wildlife Direct, a non-profit agency, has taken on a whole new meaning for our staff here at Ker & Downey. Once you’ve visited these incredible animals up-close, they magically capture your soul and leave a footprint in your heart that will last a lifetime. Sadly, these animals are victims of a cruel world. Poachers, war and those who hunt them for treasure and profit are quickly reducing the populations to the critically endangered stage. Fortunately, with the help of devoted local rangers and Wildlife Direct donations to help fund the project, the gorillas have renewed hope.
