Gorilla trekking

See mountain gorillas in the wild on this trek through Volcanoes National Park.
Gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park: Wake up at sunrise and drive the short journey to the park headquarters where briefing, porters and tea and coffee will be given before starting the adventure into the forest.
