If you've ever dreamed of coming face to face with the Silverback gorillas and you are able to walk long distances (possibly 2-3 miles one way) at altitude, then this is the adventure for you. Depending upon what gorilla family you trek will depend on your physical ability. If you can walk and hike a few miles, then trekking a family in the lower mountain areas is for you. Or, if you are physically fit, you might want to choose a trek where you hike for a few hours to reach the gorilla family. Trekking the gorillas can be strenuous, but the rewards are great. Looking deep into the expressive brown eyes of these gentle giants is an extremely special privilege and an encounter unparalleled in most likely the whole of Africa. 

Permits for Gorilla trekking are purchased upon deposit. No reservations are made without knowing that permits are available.
