Every Friday, we choose our favorite photo of the week from our Wildlife Photo of the Day website. This week we chose a pair of mountain gorillas. After trekking through Bwindi National Park in Uganda, photographer Sylvia Rourke spent an hour watching a troop of gorillas. This young gorilla had some fun sitting on Dad’s back.

Like many people, going on safari has been a dream of mine since I was a child. I’ve always been in awe of nature, wild places and wild animals. No where else quite captures this spirit like Africa.

There’s a sinister bill making its way through Congress, but you probably don’t know about it. The reason you don’t know about it is because of its name. It’s called the “SAVES Act” (Saving America’s Endangered Species Act, H.R. 2603). Sounds like it could be a good law, right? You couldn’t be more wrong.

Mountain gorillas are some of our closest relatives, sharing as much as 98 percent of our human genes. This remarkable similarity is part of what makes it so profound to spend an hour with these gentle giants on one of our gorilla safaris.

During the holiday season, we come together across lands, faiths and cultures to celebrate the persistence of light in the darkness. And we at Natural Habitat Adventures are especially happy to share some good news with you from the natural world.
African Safaris
A region once devastated by human activity and characterized by loss is in the midst of a revival of hope. On November 11, 2016 Businza, an adult female member of the Rushegura mountain gorilla family gave birth to a new baby.
African Safaris
Rwanda, a landlocked country in central Africa, is perhaps best known for its devastating history of war and genocide. Environmentally, the war had harsh impacts, as the massive migration of people to refugee camps placed significant stress on the surrounding ecosystem. Forests were cleared to provide fuel to cook with and wood to make shelters.
