During this moment, your driver guide shall ask for your passport/s to enable him register you for the day's gorilla adventure trip. At 8AM, you will head out for the gorilla briefing moment on ways and procedures taken during the Gorilla tracking Moment.

The tracking shall usually start at 8:30AM with the help armed ranger guides and porters for those who wish to be helped carrying their large cameras and bags. This help however comes at an added fee of 15-20 US dollars for their entire trek.

The tracking time and exact moment to view the gorillas cannot be guaranteed as all this depends on where the gentle giants last fed from the previous evening and how fast or energetic the trackers are. Viewing of the gorillas once spotted will go for one hour and also have an hour in the forest to take your packed lunch. After the successful gorilla trek, you will then return to the park's headquarters for a gorilla graduation ceremony where you will receive certificates confirming your participation in the Gorilla tracking.

Some of the Gorilla tracking guidelines
  • Do not smoke or eat when with the gorillas or within a distance of 200 meters from them.

  • Do not use flash photography.
  • No one with communicable disease is allowed to do the trekking.
  • Stay together in a tight group while with the gorillas and do not surround the gorillas.
