- With an early breakfast and your packed lunch ready, you will finally walk slowly to the park headquarters for briefing by the park rangers.

The area does not only offer a dramatic, steeply forested landscape and is incredibly dense but also crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. The time taken and the terrain varies, especially with the movements of these great primates.
