Gorilla, Congo

Volcanoes Safaris, specializing in mountain gorilla safaris to Uganda and Rwanda, is helping to support underprivileged local communities in the remote Bwindi Impenetrable Forest by working in collaboration with a unique non-profit organization called AMAGARA. Bwindi AMAGARA (meaning “life”) is a farming cooperative that aims to help local farmers produce and market foods for the tourism industry. Guests of Volcanoes Safaris join AMAGARA daily for traditional Ugandan cooking lessons, offering visitors the opportunity to learn how to cook authentic Ugandan food on charcoal stoves while enjoying views over the vegetable garden. Yo, big guy, please pass the salad dressing.
