After the briefing, your guide will lead you to the starting point of your trek through dense forest, winding vines, thick undergrowth, and lush bamboo.

The trek can take anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, depending on the location of the gorilla family. Once located, you’ll spend up to one magical hour in their presence. This is a rare and unforgettable opportunity to observe these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
