4:30-7:00AM: Pick up from your hotel by our driver and drive straight to Volcanoes National Park, the drive will take 2.5- 3hrs of course enjoying a beautiful sunrise as you drive close to the mountains.
7:00-8:00AM: First will be briefing by rangers at the Park Headquarters and after each group will be allocated a gorilla group among the 14 habituated groups and given ranger guides to guide them as they head into the forest in search of the mountain Gorillas. Only eight people are allowed to track each habituated group.
Expected time to track the gorillas ranges from 2 to 6hrs depending on their movement as their territory range is 40km. The park rangers and guides will clear the way and assist you through the forest. Once the gorilla group is located you will spend an hour watching them feed, play and rest while of course having a life time opportunity of taking great photos of man’s closest relative with whom they share over 97% DNA in its natural habitat.
