Gorilla Trekking at Volcanoes National Park
Departure to Volcanoes National Park head quarters to take some briefings. Go Gorilla-trekking in the Volcanoes National Park. Once you spot them you are allowed to spend an hour watching your closest long lost cousin. This is perhaps one of the most breathtaking wildlife experiences on earth!!! You get so close to these awesome giant primates. You stare at each other blankly not knowing who to break the long silence first. Tracking the gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga is a magical experience.
Be back at the base in time for lunch! Some gorilla families however are more elusive and tracking can take a full day, especially when it is wet and muddy. Drive back to the hotel to take a lunch and overnight stay
