Today like most people is likely to be the biggest highlight of your safari. Time taken trekking can be as many as 2hrs to 7hrs
Once a trekking group encounters one of the gorilla families, only one hour is granted in the presence of the great apes before trekkers must leave, however reluctantly.
Be aware that the trek can be strenuous and may reach altitudes of almost 2,000 meters above sea level. Depending on weather conditions, some of the paths can be slippery and these paths themselves can change depending on the location of the gorillas. Therefore, it is extremely hard to predict how long you will need to walk for, but a very good level of fitness is recommended for this trek. You can usually get remarkably close to the mountain gorillas, and seeing their movements is like seeing a mirror image of yourself.
From a safe distance, watch them eat, sleep, groom, and play – the giant silverback surveying and guarding the scene. Enjoy a packed lunch in the wilderness.
Depending on the time taken trekking you can have some spare time to enjoy Optional Activities at the lodge.
