Resembling man, Gorilla had come a long way from being a Neanderthal and it is still evolving, but in the long run, we always dreamt of how our early ancestors used to look like. Moreover, we have always shared the earth with other apes like primates from the long-extinct Dryopithecus to the modern day gorillas. They always attract our attention because of the resemblance that they share with us. Thus, this very attraction has always encouraged us to plan and go for Uganda Safaris to track gorillas.
