The trekking can or may take 2 hours or even a whole day since the nature of the trek is unpredictable. We recommend you to carry enough drinking water, picnic lunch, rain gear since there is a possibility of rain pouring anytime, hiking shoes and gloves. After briefing, you will be assigned to family which will trek in a group of eight pax. You will be led by the armed ranger guides off the forest to search for the gorillas.
