On the mountain gorilla trail
Early morning appointment at the park office to complete entry formalities. The park is located between 2,000 and 4,000 m above sea level, is home to five of the eight Virunga volcanoes and is composed of a very dense and humid forest. Trackers leave at dawn to locate gorilla groups. Their location is then communicated to your guide. Your walk can last between 20 minutes and 5 hours, you will evolve on more or less practicable forest paths, feet in the mud and head in the clouds, but... the reward is huge! Strong emotions are guaranteed when you arrive at the meeting point with a group of gorillas, usually composed of 8 to 20 individuals. You will spend an hour observing them. A unique experience. Dinner and overnight in a lodge or hotel near the park.
