Gorilla tracking and relaxing at the Lodge

After an early breakfast, you will drive to the briefing point of Volcanoes National park to get to be enlightened about your adventure with the Mountain Gorillas. You are advised to carry enough drinking water and a lunch box. At a cost of 15 US dollars, you can get a potter to carry your bag and give you a hand in slippery or steep parts of the forest. After the briefing, you are distributed into groups of eight and led by a park ranger into the forest where you will spend one hour with the gentle giants. A rain gear is important considering that the park has a precipitation. After tracking, you will be transferred back to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
