Top travel magazines such as Conde Nest and Lonely Planet have recognized this part of the world as one of the best hiking spots.
Following an early breakfast at the lodge, you will drive to the park headquarters for a morning briefing from the rangers at 8.00 am before you enter the gorilla sanctuary. Throughout the trek, you will be accompanied by experienced guides and trackers who will offer insightful information about the endangered mountain gorillas. Once you have found the gorillas, you will be allowed to spend 1 hour observing them from a 10-meter distance. The thrill of your encounter will erase the difficulties of the potentially strenuous trek. Each encounter is different and has its own rewards, but you are likely to enjoy the close view of adults feeding, grooming and resting as the youngster’s frolic and swing from vines in a delightfully playful display.
After tracking transfer back to your lodge for dinner and overnight.
