Central Africa, a land of natural wonders and diverse wildlife. From the majestic Volcano Kimanura Nyamulagira in Virungas to the untamed wilderness of Zaire, this region is a true gem of Africa. Travel back in time with an antique map of Africa from the 19th century, dated 1873. It showcases the rich history and exploration that shaped Central Africa into what it is today. One cannot talk about Central Africa without mentioning its iconic inhabitants – the Mountain Gorillas. Witness the strength and beauty of these magnificent creatures as you encounter a silverback from the Sabyinyo Group in their lush meadow habitat within Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda. Venture further into Virunga Volcanoes, where another group of Silverbacks awaits your presence. These awe-inspiring apes belong to the subspecies Gorilla g. Beringei and are found exclusively in this part of Rwanda, showcasing nature's diversity at its finest. As you explore deeper into Central Africa's heartland, come face-to-face with more members of this endangered species - a silverback from Group 13 residing within Volcanoes National Park. Their existence serves as a reminder to protect these gentle giants for future generations. But it's not just gorillas that call this region home; there is also an abundance of avian life. Take in breathtaking views on an aerial journey over Sudan and surrounding countries through a bird's eye view map capturing their vibrant habitats. Delve into Central Africa's mineral wealth as well - discover Malachite specimens from Lumumbashi in Katanga Province, Congo. This stunning green mineral reflects both its geological significance and cultural heritage deeply rooted within African soil. Lastly, witness tender moments between mother gorillas and their infants within Volcanoes National Park. These heartwarming scenes remind us that conservation efforts are crucial for preserving not only individual lives but entire ecosystems too.
