The trek begins as you venture into the dense forest of Volcanoes National Park, known for its steep, mist-covered slopes. The rangers will guide you through the jungle as you search for one of the park’s habituated gorilla families. Depending on the location of the gorillas that day, the trek can range from a relatively short walk to a more strenuous hike, so be prepared for some physical exertion.
