"On the way up to the Gorillas" Prefecture de Ruhengeri Things to Do Tip by nsbm

Once at your destination for your chosen group there are usually 8-10 persons in each tour. You get to spend 1hour maximum with the gorillas and its more than enough time. Depending on the group it varies from start to finish and depends on the gorilla location.....
.Each group has a front team to locate the gorillas and cut foliage. They relay back via walkie-talkies to the guide who then leads you to the gorillas. You are supposed to be more than 7metres away but in reality its as close as 1metre sometimes.
The tour is guarded by escort army personnel to fend off agressive gorillas & GUERILLAS........always check the allafrica news website before you travel anywhere in africa for latest tensions

The trek thru the farmsteads is a highlight on its own!!!!!!!!!!
