Meet Uburanga (Handsome) the huge silverback head of the Hirwa (Lucky) family of 17 gorillas we spent time with. He was the only one who paid attention to our small group - the rest of the family played and ate and slept as if we weren't there - the infants being goofy and the females cuddling or grooming Uburanga. There were lots of fangs showing in play but one female was enraged because another female was seeking Handsome's attention - all in the family. It was a trek to see this family, made arduous because of mud from rain the day before. But our guides and porters helped us immensely through wet mud, very wet mud, and very deep wet mud on the climb to enjoy watching the Hirwa. We would love to do this again.

How can you get the most out of your Gorilla Trek?

Gorillas are among the most interesting animals you can choose to see, learn about and enjoy. It's no wonder gorilla trekking and safaris are so popular. There are many countries and regions where you can enjoy these amazing tours and Uganda is one of the best regions that you can choose to enjoy gorilla safari. But like any other safari, you must be well prepared to travel. The choices you make can determine how profitable your gorilla trip will be in the end. Covered well

Remember that during travel trips, you will walk in a small way and sometimes not at all. This means you must choose clothes and shoes to protect yourself from thorns, and bodies, browser and branch. Consider wearing gaiters, long pants and socks to keep insects away and gloves to protect you from thorns and nettles. Wellies are a good choice, but you can also opt for long-sleeved shirts, jackets and sweaters. Prepare for the trip

The walk can take hours and depending on the terrain you have to face, it can be physically challenging and exhausting. The best thing you can do is to make yourself able to handle the difficult area quickly. The last thing you want is to see nothing or train your team just because you can't stay on the field for a few minutes in a difficult situation.

Get all the necessary equipment

Besides wearing the right clothes and shoes for gorilla trekking, there are other important things you should not forget. Insect repellent, sunscreen, plenty of water, a waterproof camera bag and a walking stick are some of the essentials to bring. Depending on the weather, you may also consider packing a poncho or rain jacket, a hat, and other essential items you may need for the weather. The truth is that the mountain region can be cold and rainy and you need to be prepared for that situation.

Choose the best time to travel

The location you choose for your gorilla trek will determine the conditions in which you will want to enjoy the animals. But in general, it is good that you choose to walk in summer; rainy season can make you calm, but again, they have many challenges that can hinder the results of the trip. Choose a time when you will see the animals in their glory and the time makes it easier for you to do it. Plan the trip well

Traveling in a group is fun and exciting, so consider joining a group. Organized tours are the best option not only to provide your company with care to make the trip enjoyable, but also to make the trip easier and get you the right you need for the trip. Look for organized safaris and treks with gorillas to make the trip easier.

Вулкан Бромо на о. Ява, расположенный в национальном парке Бромо-Тенгер-Семеру, взмывает на высоту 2392 м и считается самым активным и «ненасытным» на острове. Последние 20 лет он постоянно «дышит», его огромный кратер диаметром 600 м все время наполнен дымом, а все вокруг, включая тропы и дороги вокруг вулкана, усыпаны густым слоем пепла. Однако это абсолютно не мешает Бромо привлекать многочисленных туристов, которые приезжают, чтобы полюбоваться фантастическими «лунными» пейзажами, посмотреть со смотровой площадки на могучий вулкан на рассвете, когда его склоны окрашиваются в розовые и золотые тона, и, наконец, совершить восхождение к кратеру и пройтись по его кромке на высоте птичьего полета.

Название Бромо происходит от яванского имени бога Брахмы, и находится вулкан посреди песчаной равнины, которую местные жители называют Сегара Веди, что значит «Песчаный океан». Здесь же, у северных склонов Бромо стоит индуистский храм Пура Лухур Потен, построенный из темных вулканических камней. Каждый год, начиная с XV в., тенгеры (яванская народность) целый месяц отмечают праздник Ядня Касада, во время которого они поднимаются к кратеру и сбрасывают в жерло вулкана жертвоприношения богам – фрукты, овощи, цветы, рис, кур и даже домашний скот, причем живьем. Именно поэтому Бромо и называют «ненасытным».

Лучшее время для посещения вулкана - с апреля по октябрь. Сезон дождей длится с декабря по март. Днем здесь прохладно, температура не превышает +20°C.

Mount Bromo on Java Island, located in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, rises to a height of 2,392 m and is considered the most active and “insatiable” on the island. For the last 20 years, it has been constantly “breathing”, its huge crater with a diameter of 600 m is constantly filled with smoke, and everything around, including paths and roads around the volcano, is strewn with a thick layer of ash. However, this does not prevent Bromo from attracting numerous tourists who come to admire the fantastic “lunar” landscapes, look at the mighty volcano from the observation deck at dawn, when its slopes are painted in pink and gold tones, and, finally, climb to the crater and walk along its edge at a bird's eye view.

The name Bromo comes from the Javanese name of the god Brahma, and the volcano is located in the middle of a sandy plain, which the locals call Segara Wedi, which means “Sand Ocean”. Here, on the northern slopes of Bromo, there is a Hindu temple, Pura Luhur Poten, built of dark volcanic stones. Every year, since the 15th century, the Tenggerese (Javanese people) celebrate the Yadnya Kasada festival for a whole month, during which they climb to the crater and throw sacrifices to the gods into the volcano's mouth - fruits, vegetables, flowers, rice, chickens and even livestock. That is why Bromo is called "insatiable".

The best time to visit the volcano is from April to October. The rainy season lasts from December to March. It is cool here during the day, the temperature does not exceed +20°C.
