Day 14

Gorilla Trekking

This is a day to remember for a lifetime: you will take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to a rainforest in the mountains and spend some time with the famous "gorillas in the fog".

After an early breakfast, you'll be given a preliminary trekking briefing before being assigned to groups and hiking in the forest. There are no assumptions as to how long or short our hike will be, as it depends on the gorillas and the weather, so you may be in the park for one hour to six or more.

Regardless of how long the hike is, the reward at the end is the same: a magical hour of watching these magnificent animals as they rest, play, and eat in the heart of the jungle.

At the end of the hike, you'll return to your lodge for dinner and relaxation.
