During the experience, trained and experienced rangers will lead you through the forest to track one of the several habituated families of mountain gorillas. Spend an hour uninterrupted in the company of these fascinating, endangered primates, observing their behaviour and taking pictures and videos from a recommended distance.

Get yourself ready for another day out in the forest to search for golden monkeys.
