Gorilla trekking and Batwa experience

Gorilla trekking is done early morning, therefore, after breakfast drive to the Park offices for briefing. A ranger guide will lead you into the jungles and about 6 hours will be spent trekking these primates – 1 to 2 hours while searching for the gorillas, 1 hour in their presence then the last hour retreating to the office to meet your safari guide but this all depends on your trekking speed and how far gorillas have moved.
You will enjoy the gorilla group in that one hour admiring how they groom each other, climbing techniques, and mothers giving care to the infants, if lucky enough they can even come close for up-close photo shoots.
In the afternoon after lunch, you will have another amazing activity, Batwa community experience where you will walk through the pygmy villages. Interact with the Batwa people meet elders for storytelling and hear how these people used to survive while in the jungle, and get involved in their cultural music, and traditional performances.
