- The trekking begins at the headquarters, led by professional ranger guides. The journey usually takes about one hour; however, it depends on the gorillas' location as it varies daily. While walking through thick forests, keep your eyes up and silent as you may see other wildlife species like Baboons, Monkeys, Duikers, birds, etc.
