When gorillas have been located, you will have one full hour viewing them as they go on with their daily lives at a distance of 7-10 meters. After gorilla tracking, we transfer back to Kigali and drop off at your hotel or at the airport. Please read our recommendations about gorilla trekking and timing for your flights for this tour.
