Afterwards, continue and start off the trekking, one of the most endangered animal species as guided by the rangers. You will spend about 1 hour with them, taking photos, watching them feed, play around as well as doing their day-to-day activities.
But depending on the location and the movement of the gorillas, this activity may take about 2-8 hours. As a matter of fact, expect to walk longer distances with walking sticks due to the muddy and steep landscape. Later, return to the lodge for lunch and a power nap.
