Afterward, you and your guides will embark on a hike through dense undergrowth and thick creepers in search of the gorillas, a journey that may take up to three-quarters of the day. The forest is dense, but it’s interspersed with animal trails that allow access for tourists. Once you find the gorillas, you’ll have one hour to observe and photograph them as they play, feed, and groom. After this incredible experience, you’ll be transferred back to your lodge for dinner, where you’ll spend the night.
