Day 2: First Gorilla Trekking
Breakfast is enjoyed at the lodge before departing for your morning drive to the park for Gorilla trekking (using your first gorilla permit). Gorillas are tracked through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga and it’s a very wonderful experience which make every day of stay interesting. In case you are lucky; you can get to see the gorillas, spend an hour with them, and get back at the lodge in time for a late lunch. However, some gorilla families are more mysterious, and tracking can take a full day, especially when it is wet and muddy. Therefore, the activity requires a lot of patience and endurance.
