Day 3: Volcanoes National Park

Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National  Park 

After an early morning briefing with National Parks’ personnel, you will be taken to the start of your Gorilla trekking hike.  Your walk to the gorilla family may take anything from 30 mins to several hours – following your guide through the beautiful forests.  Along the way you may encounter golden monkeys, as well as a range of birdlife and other forest dwellers.

Once you reach the Gorilla family, you will be privileged to spend an hour watching them as they interact with each other:sleeping,  eating, grooming or playing. It’s a humbling experience to sit amongst our ‘cousins’. Be sure to enjoy the experience fully, and not just through the lense of your camera - as the hour goes by so fast!
