Day notes

Twelve habituated groups can be tracked and observed in the Volcanoes National Park. While tracking expeditions do not necessarily cover enormous distances, they can range in length from 1-8 km (0.5-5 miles) over very steep country at high altitudes. The undergrowth can be thick, the ground beneath muddy, and, including the time spent with a gorilla group, excursions can last between 2 and 8 hours.
While gorilla sightings and encounters are very reliable, viewing is dependent on variables such as weather and tracking conditions.

When with the gorillas, please keep your voice low. Do not make rapid movements that may alarm them.
Should you need to cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and turn away from the gorillas.
If a gorilla should charge or vocalise at you, do not be alarmed, stand still, look away from the gorilla and follow your guide’s instructions.
Again, to minimise possible transmission of human diseases, visitors are asked to maintain a distance of 7 metres (about 22 feet) from the gorillas. Guests that display cold, flu or other respiratory tract symptoms will not be allowed to track gorillas.

Day notes
