Gorilla Trekking and Community Visit
From the lodge, you drive to the park Offices. The head-ranger will brief and divide you into groups. The Gorillas you will track belong to one of the habituated family groups who can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day.
After the briefing, the guide will lead you to the starting-point of your tracking. The trek will be an exciting one along forested slopes, entwined vines, bushes and lush bamboo plantations before you eventually reach the gorilla habitat.
The time taken to track the Gorillas can take as little as two hours to as much as 8 hours! After you have located the gorilla family, you will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them.
Enjoy the one hour as you photograph and be told about their day to day behavior / lifestyle by a resident ranger guide. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with mountain gorillas in the Jungle.
