For those willing to do the trekking, after breakfast, we shall assemble at the park offices for briefing prior to this historic event.

The exhilaration attached to first setting an eye on a wild mountain gorilla is difficult to describe. They’re enormous animals, yet despite their fearsome appearance, gorillas are remarkably peaceable creatures. This morning with Picnic lunch, go hike in search of these Apes!
