Gorilla Trekking at Volcanoes National Park

After an early breakfast and briefing from your guide, you will set off with your guides into the equatorial rain forest searching for your designated mountain gorilla family. You'll trek along the slopes of the Virunga Mountain range, ascending slowly through dense bamboo and foliage for up to several hours while your guides locates the habituated gorilla family. Your porter will carry camera equipment, additional clothing and bottled water. Once found, you will spend quality time with your gorilla family, watching them feed and socialize, before trekking back to your starting point and lodge.
