Since the gorillas do not follow the trail network, significant parts of the route have to be covered off the beaten track through the steep mountain rainforest. You will be guided by an experienced park ranger. He will tell you interesting facts about fauna and flora and the way of life of the gorillas. In the afternoon you can relax in the accommodation and process the impressions of the morning. Alternatively, you can take a walk to a village of the native Batwa Pygmies (optional).
