formalities for the Gorilla Trekking (or Golden Monkey Trekking) and to receive an introduction to the
Gorilla Trekking. The trek begins at the foot of the Virunga Volcanoes. We enter the bamboo forest
with the guide. Depending on the gorilla family we visit, the trek can vary in length. Being face to face with the gorillas as they play, feed and even lounge with a giant silverback is an incredible feeling. After the trek, we have lunch at the lodge and spend the afternoon at the Dian Fossey Gorilla Museum, which only opened in early 2022.
