Day 3 | Gorilla Tracking Adventure

Wake up and prepare for the unforgettable experience. After an early morning breakfast, head to the UWA headquarters for briefing before setting off to the forest in search for gorillas. The time taken tracking these Giant apes is unpredictable; however, it ranges between 2-6 hours depending on their movement. Tracking goes through steep rocks climbing up and down before you find Gorillas Camouflaged in thick vegetation. However, the thrill of encountering these giant primates erases the poor memories you went through in trying to find them.
