Ensure that you have lunch packed for you with bottled water as well. A reasonable degree of fitness is required as well as a sturdy pair of walking shoes. Once up close to the group, a memorable whole one hour is allowed to be with these gentle giants. Sit in the forest among the Gorillas, listen to them grumble to each other and marvel at the sheer size of the dominant male-the Silverback. It’s an extra-ordinary feeling sitting in the dense rainforest knowing you are with a few of these last remaining mountain Gorillas-sadly enough there are only about 650 of these beautiful creatures left.
