Important Trip Details:
What makes this trip a Level 3 & Level 4? When tracking animals, hiking speed and distance will vary depending on animal activity. Expect to walk 4–6 hours while tracking chimpanzees. While tracking mountain gorillas, expect more strenuous hikes up to 8 hours over steep and uneven terrain at elevations of 6,000–9,000 ft in hot, humid conditions. Hiking time can be shorter if the gorillas are nearby but be prepared to hike a full day. You will be assisted by porters on gorilla treks.
