You will have an early morning wake up on the day of your trek. Depending on how far your lodge is from the park gates, you could leave between 06:30 and 07:00.
Once you arrive you will be briefed by the parks rangers and guides. When the trek begins, there is no pre-determined amount of time you will spend in the forest.
Time spent in the jungle is dependent on the movements of the gorillas and where they have slept for the night. Treks can last for 30 minutes or up to 5 hours. Once a gorilla family has been found, you will spend an hour with them.
