Day 2 - Gorilla Trekking expand_more
- After breakfast, transfer to the park headquarters for the briefing at exactly 8:00 am; you will then need to carry packed lunch since you will spend most of the time in the jungle searching for the mountain gorillas. The time you will spend tracking the gorillas is unpredictable, and it may take as few as only 2 hours on a good day, yet it may even take 8 hours before you meet these great apes. This period taken depends on their movement on the previous day.
- When you finally find the gorillas, you will have to spend an hour watching them play and eat foliage as you take photographs. It is truly a thrilling experience of a lifetime.
- In case you complete the gorilla tracking early, you can choose to relax and have a drink at the nearby hotels, or you can take an optional cultural tour and have an opportunity to interact with the friendly local people.
