Sustainability is one of the most common and hot topics today. For gorilla safaris, the sustainability of all the activities that go with gorilla trekking is worthy more important than just the "business" of visiting the mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.
When Uganda took the leas in developing gorilla tourism, it chose to take the path of ecotourism in order to be rest assured about sustainability. Today we wonder whether there are appropriate measures that have been taken to ensure sustainability of gorilla tourism not only in Uganda, Rwanda and Congo! To ensure sustainability of gorilla safaris in Uganda, can you ask yourself the following questions;
1. Which tour operator are you using? Are using a responsible tour operator?
2. How do you ensure sustainability of the activities you take?
3. How does the local community benefit from your holiday?
4. Do you follow all the set rules for gorilla trekking?
