A Bucket-List Experience

Gorilla Trekking

There are only around 1,063 mountain gorillas left on Earth. To sit quietly among them in their ancient forest home is one of the most moving wildlife encounters you will ever have. The hike through dense bamboo and cloud forest can take one to four hours each way. A moderate level of fitness is recommended.
