Your trek could last anything between 2 to 8 hours. Therefore, your physical stamina and endurance is greatly required for this experience. The trek for the great apes is tiresome but very well rewarded by meeting, spending an hour with and photographing these gentle giants (The mountain Gorillas) as you look straight into their inviting brown eyes. This is a lifetime thrill of a wildlife adventure that only Africa can offer.
