Gorilla Tracking and Transfer to Kisoro
After breakfast, you will assemble at the national park offices for a detailed briefing before heading out on foot to track mountain gorillas with guides from the local community. This exclusive experience is a real privilege, as group sizes are limited and only one group is allowed to view each gorilla group each day. So, viewing permits are almost as scarce as the gorillas! On occasions, the gorillas prove elusive but often can be found within an hour or more by the expert local tracker guides.
It is a very emotionally moving once-in-a-lifetime experience to stare into the eyes of these gentle giants and watch them play and go about their daily activities. Each encounter with the gorillas is different and has its rewards, but you are likely to enjoy the close view of adults feeding, grooming, and resting as the young frolic and swing from vines in a delightfully playful display. On your return, you will be issued with a certificate and then drive to Kisoro for relaxation.
