Gorilla Tracking

Early morning transfer to the park headquarters for a briefing by the park staff. Loaded with your drinking water, packed lunch and walking stick, enter the forest in search for the famous Mountain Gorillas. The trail into the forest will abruptly immerse you in the mysterious intimacy of the rainforest – Home to the gorillas.

An exhilarating gorilla trek through the cultivated foothills of the Virungas can be muddy and challenging, but offers a great experience.

As you slope through gaps in the forest canopy, the magnificent peaks, among the highest in Africa are glimpsed.
