incredible biodiversity. This forest protects about half of the remaining 800 Mountain Gorillas.
Once a trekking group encounters one of the gorillas 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 metres 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 very 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
very 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.
