Your ranger guides will lead you through the thick creepers and undergrowth as you trek to find the gorillas. The steep landscape is incredibly dense but characterized by many animal trails allowing access to tourists. The amount of time you take during the trek entirely depends on the movement of the gorillas. It is an extraordinary feeling being with these beautiful yet endangered creatures.
