Mountain Gorilla hiking was tiring and thrilling. It is so beautiful hiking there. Definitely "Gorillas in the Mist". Follow all tour guidelines and you won't be sorry that you did this. We are 64 and 70 years old and did the 10-mile mountain hike. Muddy, slippery, thorns and stinging plants so be prepared! Hire a porter- you won't be sorry you did this either!

This was truly one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had. The trek through the forest wasn’t very long—about 15 minutes before we encountered the first group of tracking rangers, and another 10 minutes later, we spotted the oldest member of the gorilla group. From there, we ventured deeper into the forest and eventually found ourselves surrounded by the entire group. Being in their natural habitat, quietly observing them, was a powerful and unforgettable moment that left us with memories to treasure for a lifetime.
Yes, it’s a costly adventure—but absolutely worth every single penny. If you ever get the opportunity, don’t hesitate—go for it!
