The briefing gives you an insight into how you should handle yourself while in the forest searching for the gorillas. As you’re at the headquarters waiting to be briefed, you will be enjoying the Rwandese traditional dance produced by the local Rwandese nationals as you enjoy a cup of coffee warming for your gorilla trekking journey to the volcano’s deep forests. Later, after being briefed about the way how you will handle yourself while in the park searching for the gorillas, with one of the park rangers, you will be divided into groups of 8 to start the experience. Gorilla trekking in volcanoes is a bit strenuous and thus you need to be physically fit. However, you may see the gorilla family you’re searching for a few minutes after you have started the journey. Some visitors going to track a certain gorilla family will have to first drive a few meters to the starting point before they start the actual activity of gorilla tracking. A porter may be helpful in giving you a hand especially when gorillas are nested far away from the starting point. If you get a gorilla family, you will be allowed to spend an hour in the presence of the gorillas before returning to your booked Lodge for lunch, and later with your driver, you will drive back to Kigali and this marks the end of your 2 Days Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Safari Package
