Getting to track the mountain gorillas is not easy and it’s not a guarantee to see them, the trek to where these unique primates live takes through the very dense vegetation, up steep slopes and can last several hours. The dense vegetation is filled with burning and stinging nettles, so wearing gloves are a good idea. Red ants are also common, so wear long socks to tuck your trousers into. Gorillas move around so they aren’t all that easy to track. The gorillas you’ll be meeting are habituated to humans and that’s why you are able to get quite close to them.
