MOUNTAIN GORILLA TREKKING IN VOLCANOES
Experience the thrill of Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes NP…
Set out in search of a magical face-to-face encounter with any one of the ten (10) Habituated Gorillas families of Volcanoes National Park. Explore this scenic landscape, where Dian Fossey carried out her ground-breaking Mountain gorilla research, traversing slopes covered with rainforest and bamboo. Home to no less than five volcanoes, you will be trekking deeper into the park’s dense, misty forests, accompanied by an expert ranger. It typically takes between two (02) and five (05) hours to locate your allocated gorilla family and you will then have the opportunity to spend some time ( 01 Hour) quietly observing and photographing these charismatic creatures.
A wildlife experience with the magnificent mountain gorilla is like no other. Make the best of every second as you watch them foraging, playing, teasing each other, eating or slumbering in a manner similar to humans. At times the trek to view them may be strenuous, with steep rises covered in dense vegetation.
Inhabiting areas which are not easily reachable, gorillas reside where there is an abundance of food plants near the ground and think nothing of climbing incredibly lofty hills to get to them. Your formidable trek will be richly rewarded when you first set eyes on these extraordinary creatures. We recommend spending a lot more of your travel time in and around Volcanoes National Park – You may consider adding a Second Gorilla Trek to your Itinerary – A Great Gorilla Conservational gesture we like to encourage our clients to Consider.
