All treks are led by Senior Rangers Guides who are responsible for the daily monitoring of the habituated gorilla groups. Gorilla Trekking can be from 2-10 hours, depending on location of the group being trekked & the difficulty of the terrain.

During the trek, trekkers are advised to come in long trousers &  long sleeved shirt to protect them from stings & thorns, whilst a pair of long socks are essential to tuck trousers into them in case of army ants. Good walking boots are also necessary & we advise bringing along a raincoat, gloves & Charged cameras & Phones. You can as well bring some leg gaiters which would protect your shoes & trousers from getting dirty/wet when walking through muddy areas in rain season

To safeguard the health of the gorillas, visitors are encouraged to facemasks to wear when in the presence of the gorillas. As mountain gorillas & or Chimpanzees are susceptible to human illness.
