Meet with the Gorillas at Volcanoes National Park

You will wake up early and transfer to the park headquarters in time for the briefing. The park rangers allocate the different groups. You will depart on the most amazing trek in search of mountain gorillas. You can hike for several hours depending on the gorillas' location. In order to ensure the long-term viability of the gorilla population, once spotted, you will be limited to one hour of observation. You will get the opportunity to see young apes playing with one another, mothers nursing and silverbacks overseeing their pod. You'll return to the headquarters and transfer back to the lodge. The rest of the day is spent at leisure with lunch and dinner included at the lodge.

NB: This is a wildlife experience that is subject to weather and gorilla movements.
The permits are subject to availability and need to be prepaid at the time of the booking (they are non-refundable).
