Gorilla Tracking is challenging, however, you will find the experience worthwhile once you see the Primates. It is always amazing to watch a family of Mountain Gorillas. You could spend hours just watching the little ones roll around and play. Mountain Gorillas are very playful and curious, don’t be surprised if they come too close to you. While with the Gorillas, it’s important to listen to instructions from your Guide. Never make sudden movements while with Mountain Gorillas.
