After breakfast and a briefing by park ranger guides, depart with picnic lunch boxes to start a 30–minute to 8–hour trek to find the Mountain gorillas as you hike up and down slippery slopes with dense mist-covered vegetation. The activity is surely strenuous, but then again, fully rewarding in the sight of the huge gorillas, you will be able to take pictures and observe their various characteristics as they feed, play, and relate. You’re allowed a full hour with these creatures and thereafter head back, freshen up dinner, and overnight.
