in there vicinity so you must be very careful as you trek to see the gorillas. The
way to the gorillas in Rwanda is known for being steep as the gorillas at times
hike to the top of the close by ridges in search for food. You have to lower
your voices because gorillas may become suspicious of your presence. When you

contacts. Take there pictures and only one hour is permitted for you in the
presence of the gorillas.
