Mountain Gorilla Competition

A Unique Opportunity To Win A Trip To See The Endangered Mountain Gorilla

To be drawn on the 1st September 2004

The mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is one of the most endangered apes in the world. Hunting and habitat destruction have driven it to the verge of extinction, and today only 700 are left in the wild, with no individuals ever surviving in captivity. It is now found only in two small, protected areas of forest in Uganda's Bwindi National Park and the Virunga Volcano Region where Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo meet.

As one of our closest living relatives, a close encounter with the mountain gorilla is one of the most exhilarating experiences imaginable. It is the largest of the great apes but, far from a monstrous King Kong, a highly intelligent and peaceful vegetarian. For anyone interested in wildlife, a visit to the mountain gorillas is one of the experiences of a lifetime!

Fauna & Flora International (FFI), in association with wildlive! UK, Volcanoes Safaris and Kenya Airways, is giving away two Premier World tickets plus an all inclusive four day gorilla safari.
