The ranger guides will narrate to you about the life of these gorillas and then assign a maximum of eight people to a gorilla group for tracking. The trekking exercise is done on foot deep in the jungle, as the ranger guide follows where the apes were last seen the previous day and then through the hilly terrain and lush plants. The search exposes one to a variety of plants, birds, and primates.
    Depending on how far the apes have moved and your pace; tracking the gorillas may last for over 1-7 hours, plus an additional hour of photography, making inquiries and watching poses of the gentle silverback.
