Day 2: Gorilla Trekking
The big day! You will need to be at the Wildlife Authority base by 8am to begin your experience. The Mountain Gorilla is extremely endangered, currently there are thought to be only 800 or so left in the world, and only found in this small corner of Africa.

The length of the trek depends on the whereabouts of the gorillas; anything from a few hours to all day (a packed lunch is provided).
