In the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda there are over twenty families of Mountain Gorilla, comprised of around 280 individual gorillas, living on the slopes of the Virunga Volcanoes. Of these twenty families, twelve families are visited with ten families being visited each day. The Parks Authority rotates the families that you trek to see, on a daily basis. For many, seeing gorillas in the wild offers a wildlife experience of a lifetime.
Getting up close and personal to these majestic creatures truly is a once in a lifetime experience. Tracking them can take anything from one to six hours and once located you have one hour to watch them. The trek is not easy – you will need clothing that covers your arms, hands and ankles to protect from scratches from trees and a lot of the trek will be uphill. However, the moment the porter announces “we have found them!” will send tingles down your spine!
