Participants will watch these gorillas for up to two hours, observing their behavior and social interactions.
Additionally, there is an opportunity to engage in a community walk to learn about the culture and daily lives of the Batwa people, including insights into their traditions and their connection to the forest. This safari provides an opportunity to encounter gorillas and gain a broader understanding of the local ecosystem.
