Gorilla tourism goes online - PC World

Mountain-gorilla tracking in Uganda is hard work -- up steep slopes, through fascinating but dense terrain. It's not for the faint-hearted, but now an online project set to launch Saturday is helping to make gorilla spotting, a major source of tourism income, more accessible than ever.

Gorilla tracking requires a good level of fitness and patience. It's not cut out for tourists who want instant, easy viewing from the comfort of an air-conditioned jeep. For those with determination the reward sometimes is to be in the presence of one of the world's gentlest, rarest and most reclusive gentle giants.
