Wake up early for the highlight of the tour, gorilla trekking! After a briefing from the park rangers, embark on a guided hike into the dense jungle in search of a habituated gorilla family. The trek may take a few hours, but the moment you encounter these gentle giants in their natural habitat is truly magical. Watch them interact, feed, and play before heading back to your lodge for relaxation and storytelling around the campfire.
Day 3: Transfer to the Chimpanzee Sanctuary
