Gorilla tracking and relaxation

An early morning breakfast will be served at the lodge, short drive and report to the park headquarters. Attend the general briefing by the ranger guide. Begin the walk to the gorillas’ natural habitats led by experienced armed ranger guides.
As you glide through the bamboo vegetation of this park, keep your eyes wide open, follow the trails and maintain maximum silence as this rewards a chance to see other primates in the forest and birds. When you reach the gorillas’ sight, respect the gorilla distance as instructed by the ranger guide, avoid flash photography and obey other gorilla tracking rules and regulations.
Use a chance to inquire about everything you would wish to know about the gorillas from the guide while still interacting with the gorillas. This gorilla tracking activity (up close observation) takes only one hour.
After the tracking experience, you shall return back to the park headquarters, return back to the lodge, and overnight stay.
