Primates safari 12 days Tour

After an early morning breakfast, your driver will help organize your packed lunch boxes then drive/escort you to the park offices. Here you may be joined by other tourists to receive a briefing from the park warden or head ranger on the dos and don’t during gorilla trekking before you begin your adventure. Each gorilla family is visited by a maximum group of eight (8) tourists a day so you may be joined by other people on the trek. Your driver guide will help arrange for porter services (at least one porter per person, Client pays direct) to help with your packed lunches and bags for cameras, water etc. You will then begin your adventure into the gorilla sanctuary. The time taken and the terrain vary (1- 8 hours) according to the movement of these gentle giants. Gorilla trekking takes between less than an hour to 7hours before encounter depending on the terrain. However, the thrill of meeting face to face takes away the pain of some times long and arduous trek. You are then allowed one hour with the gorillas before trekking back. Overnight at Mahogany Springs Lodge/ Buhoma lodge/ Gorilla forest camp BLD
