Gorilla Tracking 

What happens During Briefing before gorilla trekking

Early in the morning, you head to the ranger station for briefing. Do not forget to carry your packed lunch and energizers as the return time after briefing is not known. While at the station, you will meet other trackers. You will be advised on how to behave while you trek to see the gorillas like. Keep your voices low while in the forest because mountain gorillas are scared by the presence of intruders, avoid littering the forest with waste to protect the environment,

In case you have any contiguous infection, volunteer to stay behind because these apes are affected by human diseases too, request for a porter prior to starting the trek in case you are not sure of your fitness, Incase you wish to ease yourself while in the forest ask a ranger to dig a hole for you and cover beyond recognition. When you finally meet the gorillas, do not eat in there presence. Stand at a distance of about 7 meters away from them to prevent spread of diseases from either them or you. During photographing, take of the flash and use a sound proof camera. These are some of the things you expect to be told during briefing.

As you trek to see the mountain gorillas

As you embark on the search to meet the gorillas, you are not sure of where to find them in this massive thick forest so in the company of the ranger guide, you will head to the spot where they were last seen the previous day. Mountain gorillas feed entirely on foliage especially bamboo which is there favorite delicacy. The search continues as the gorillas keep looking for new grounds to feed especially in the dry seasons when there is little growth of plants to feed on. Take photographs of your memorable encounter with the great apes
