It is gorilla tracking day and you will wake up early to have breakfast and be at the park offices at 7:30 am. You will be briefed by the Park rangers on all the procedures before you can start your trek.

In groups of 8 and the rangers, you will go into the forest in search of the mountain gorillas that call this dense rainforest home. Whereas the gorilla trek can be quite challenging, meeting the gorillas will make all that sweat certainly worth it.

Upon finding the mountain gorillas, you will spend one (1) hour with them after which you will be led back to the starting point by the park ranger. The gorilla is a shy and peaceful animal and it is an unforgettable experience to watch and photograph them as they interact.
