Morning Guided Gorilla tracking
Morning Guided Gorilla tracking
After an early breakfast depart to the starting point for briefing about your gorilla trekking adventure after which you will be
led by experienced gorilla trackers on the slopes of the volcanoes. You will start from the site where the gorillas were
encountered the day before and from here the gorilla tracking begins. Although the hike can be physically demanding, the
anticipation of the exciting experience ahead is amazing, and the beauty of the gorilla forest and its inhabitants are
fascinating. One of Africa’s major highlights is when you encounter these gentle apes. It is a humbling experience to stand
just meters from man’s distant cousins as they eat rest, play and bond with their young ones. Follow the mountain gorillas
as they range freely in the impenetrable forest, and discover their gorgeous natural habitual and the many species they
share it with. You are allowed an hour with the gorillas before finally sloping down back to your lodge.
You may opt for Gorilla Habituation on supplement of $1500 per person – here you will be sure of meeting and spending
enough time with the Gorillas.
Don’t forget to carry your rain gear, packed lunch, plenty of water, gloves, hat, and water proof bag for protection of your
camera in case of rain
