The trek can take between two to eight hours depending on the gorillas’ movement. Once you find them, spend a full magical hour observing their behaviour as they feed, play, groom, and interact within the forest. This intimate encounter is one of the most memorable wildlife experiences in the world.
Return to your lodge, enjoy a warm meal, and rest. The afternoon is free for relaxation, or you may opt for a massage or guided nature walk.
