this is very rare.

without being briefed. This is to ensure that the rules of the forest are

mountain gorillas or the chimpanzees. He is normally armed for your safety in
case there is anything that attacks you there is ready defense. But the forest
is safe enough for you as it is regularly supervised to ensure the safety of
tourists.

guide follows the pace of the slowest tourists so that no one is forgotten in

guards is always in communication with the ranger guide on tour so that your
