Your much-anticipated gorilla trekking experience begins early in the morning. After breakfast, you will head to the park headquarters for a briefing on gorilla trekking etiquette and safety. You will then set off on a guided trek into the forest, accompanied by rangers, in search of one of the habituated gorilla families.
Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park is an extraordinary experience—ranging from a brief 30-minute walk to a more challenging 4-hour hike depending on where the gorillas are located. Once you find the gorillas, you’ll spend an hour observing them as they go about their day—feeding, resting, and interacting with each other. It’s a rare and privileged opportunity to connect with these magnificent creatures. After the trek, return to the lodge to relax and enjoy lunch.
