The #1 wildlife experience on Earth — face-to-face with mountain gorillas
This is the wildlife experience against which all others are measured. Trek through bamboo forests on the slopes of the Virunga Volcanoes until you find a habituated gorilla family. Then spend one incredible hour just metres from a 200kg silverback and his family as they eat, play, and rest.
The $1,500 permit funds conservation that has increased the mountain gorilla population from 680 to over 1,000 in two decades. Your luxury lodge at the volcano base completes an experience that changes lives.
