Day 2 of your 3 Days Luxury Fly in Gorilla Trekking Safari starts with an early morning breakfast. Wake up and have a heavy breakfast, Wear appropriate clothing like long sleeved shirts, long pair of jean or karky trousers, water proof boots, and a round cap. Pack some snacks and drinking water to help you during the trek since it is a 4 hours trek depending on the location of the Mountain Gorillas. Proceed to the park headquarters where you will be briefed about the Do’s and the Don’ts of the park when you are with the Mountain Gorillas. After the briefing, you will be assigned a park ranger and one Gorilla family to trek.
Your trekking experience will be an exciting, yet challenging, journey along forested (often muddy and slippery) slopes, tangled vines, thick vegetation and bamboo forests before you reach the territory of these gentle giants. En-route, your ranger will point out telltale signs of previous gorilla activity, like dung, nests and chewed bamboo shoots. Depending on the location of the gorillas on any given day the walk can take anything from 2 to 7 hours. Once the family of gorillas have been located, settle in to your surroundings and enjoy the hour you have to quietly observe these fascinating primates. Dinner and Overnight Stay.
