Set off on your guided trek through thick bamboo forests, volcanic slopes, and lush vegetation, following fresh gorilla trails. The trek can take between 1 to 4 hours depending on the location of the family you’re tracking.
Once you find them, spend a magical hour in their presence — observing their playful juveniles, nurturing mothers, and the powerful silverback in their natural habitat.
