There will be an early breakfast and a pre-made lunch available. You will meet with your guide and take you at the park headquarters for a briefing at 7 a.m. Your gorilla trekking guide will fill you in on the highlights of the gorillas’ daily lives. The duration of the gorilla trekking varies widely, from thirty minutes to seven hours. The experience of trekking over the high, densely forested hills and coming upon the gorillas hidden in the jungle is awe-inspiring and humbling. Once you find the gorillas, you’ll get an hour to observe them from a distance of 6 metres while watching them play, feed, making their next night’s nests and many others while taking their pictures and recording their videos. Upon completion of this magical encounter, you will drive you back to the lodge where you can relax in the afternoon or go for another walk to visit one of the communities around like the Batwa people in their homes and interact with them.

A glimpse into the eyes of one of these majestic creatures drives home the relationship that exists between ourselves and them, making a gorilla trekking one of the most unforgettable wildlife experiences in the world. Sometimes the hour goes by too quickly, and then we’re on our way back to the lodge to share stories about the day.
