Volcanoes Gorilla Tracking Experience – After completing park formalities, embark on a once-in-a-lifetime gorilla tracking experience. Upon locating a gorilla family, enjoy a full hour of close observation, interaction, and photography. Trekking through the light mountain forests on the slopes of the Virunga Mountains is a captivating experience. These endangered mountain gorillas—of which fewer than 700 remain—are typically hidden in dense tropical forest, but you will be able to observe them from just a few meters away. For your safety and comfort, wear hiking boots, long trousers, and gloves to protect against stinging nettles, and carry sufficient water, as the rainforest can become hot and humid during the day. Should the trek extend longer than expected, your ranger guide will select a safe spot for a picnic lunch either during or immediately following the trek.
After the trek, return to the lodge and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.
