How the trek works
You attend an early briefing, join a small group with ranger guides and trek into the forest to reach a habituated gorilla family. Time with the gorillas is strictly limited to protect them.
Permits
Permits are issued by the wildlife authority, are limited in number and should be secured well in advance. Official permit costs are set by the authorities and can change, so we always confirm the current price when quoting.
Fitness and preparation
Terrain is steep, muddy and often dense. Reasonable fitness helps, and porters are available and highly recommended.
Responsible tourism
Keep the required distance, follow ranger instructions, avoid flash photography and do not trek if you are unwell.
