Day-3 Gorilla tracking at Volcanoes National park
Having had a wonderful night at the lodge, we shall have a short drive of 8-10 minutes to the Kinigi Volcanoes national park information centre/ headquarters for our endangered, Gentle giants/gorilla briefing at the bottom/base of mount Sabinyo which forms part of the Virunga Massive/volcanoes, here at the base, we shall meet a group of local guides alongside Rangers and trackers who will brief us about the gorilla tracking, the dos and don’ts, from there we shall begin our the hiking up and deep into the mountain where they last saw the gorillas the previous night and trek from that very point.
However, Rwanda is well known to have 12 groups of habituated gorillas (Gorillas which are used to seeing people and aren’t wild or don’t attack people) and normally, 8 clients are assigned a group each day, the interaction with our next cousins shall ranger from30minutes-1hour but we shall give a distance of 8m between us and them.
The journey to the mountain may take us from 1-8 hours that’s to and fro at a height of 6000-7500m above sea level but the land can muddy when it’s a rainy season, however when you look at the forest and the surrounding hill tops, you will discover that this is real nature, the beautiful sceneries make the trekking worth it and you deserve that and once these gentle giants are located you will even forget the fatigue that may have had while climbing these mountains and Gorilla experience is normally described as the most profound natural history experience in the world but one has to be ready with his/her cameras, do the filming for remembrance very fast, sometimes it may rain in a few minutes without notice and the activity/happiness may become dirty, whence rain jackets/rain proof clothings are advisable for this activity including zip-lock cameras and films, after the trekking we descend back to the lodge, have hot lunch and relax.
