The moment you find these majestic creatures, all the fatigue will be forgotten. It can take anywhere between 1-6 hours and become very tiresome when to climbing altitudes of about 7500 feet, but it is very interesting moment seeing the Gorilla’s behaviors in their natural habitats; they are closely related to human beings, and you will be allowed to spend 1 hour with them.
