1. See mountain gorillas in Rwanda

Make like Dian Fossey and hang out with mountain gorillas. There are only around 700 left in the world, and roughly half live in the Virunga Mountains in central Africa. Gorilla trekking is an unforgettable wildlife safari experience: they’re hard to get to, but once you’re there you can watch these endearing, highly social animals interact in their natural habitat: the green, volcanic slopes of Rwanda, Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo. Mountain gorilla safaris are available all year-round for anyone prepared to get a bit dirty – and to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
