The guides will then take you through the bush. You’ll push through the undergrowth to track the gorillas. Please note this trek can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 5-6 hours. A reasonable degree of fitness is required, as well as a sturdy pair of walking shoes.
You’ll sit in the forest among the gorillas, listening to them ‘talk’ to one another and marvel at the sheer size of the dominant male, the silverback. It is an extraordinary feeling being in the dense rain forest knowing you are within a few feet of the last remaining mountain gorillas. It's heartbreaking and amazing to think there are only about 950 of these beautiful creatures left.
