Mountain gorilla trekking experience
Our guide told us a little bit about the mountain gorilla family, and the little rundown on gorillas, behavior, gorilla trekking can last anywhere from 15 minutes to 8 hours. We started ours sent through some farmland and we got to see a lot of locals doing their farm work. It’s super interesting to see and not every route does this.
We also got to see chameleons, which are really cute, they were very tiny. We tricked our pills. Through Farmland for maybe 3 hours, we were at altitude. And one lady was really struggling. There was nowhere that she was going to be able to continue the hike. They ended up getting a whole bunch of guys with a stretcher on their shoulders to come and help her finish the training and kind of see her on the stretcher at the club.
If you’re considering doing gorilla tracking, definitely be aware that it can be quite difficult. This was the entrance into the national park. Once we were in the national park. We started walking through some pretty dense jungles. This was a nice part of the path. It was kind of the only part that I could film on without falling over
But we had guys with the shitties at the front patiently Bush, bashing their way through for a pass.
Had four trackers that keep track of the gorillas and kind of took down note of anything that they’re doing. I would highly recommend getting a porter to carry your bags if you’re going Gorilla trekking and they will like to help hold your hand if you’re feeling unsteady on the track at all.
And then we finally got to hang out with our gorilla, family for an hour and they were so cute they walked right, past me. She like brushed up against me on her way past This was my gorilla tricking experience.
