Gorilla trekking starts very early in the morning at 8am with a simple briefing at the park headquarters form the local ranger guide. At the ranger station, be divided into groups of eight trekkers, a maximum number of trekkers allowed to visit a gorilla family per day.
Gorilla trekking takes about 1 to 6 hours of trekking into the impenetrable forest, depending on the movements of the apes or the speed of the trekkers. You will spend one magical hour in the presence of these apes, watching them carry on with their daily lives as you learn about them.
In the evening, after some relaxation, visit the Batwa community. This is a community for the forest pygmies who were the first inhabitants of the impenetrable forest before they were resettled outside the park. You will enjoy traditional performances as you get close and personal encounters with the local people. Return to the lodge in the evening to prepare for departure the following day.
