After yesterday’s activity and early rest, wake up and take your breakfast before heading to the park offices for briefing on gorilla tracking which usually takes place at 7:00 am. The head guide will let you know of all information regarding gorilla tracking and how to conduct yourself while with the gorilla family. Briefing is compulsory and is also a time when you choose your family and take the time to hire a porter. A gorilla safari in Rwanda involves selecting a gorilla family from the 10 habituated groups. Selection is based on one’s overall fitness, location of your lodge and personal preference. Once you are done with the briefing and selections, you can now go to track the gorillas. Tracking mountain gorillas can be challenging depending on which gorilla family you choose but nothing beats the excitement of finally meeting the gorilla family. You will only have one hour with the gorilla family. Listen to instructions from your guide while with the gorilla family. After your time has elapsed, you should now head back to the starting point where you will find our guide who will take you back to the lodge for lunch and rest before other activities. Later in the evening, our guide will take you to visit the nearby Iby’iwacu cultural village where you will learn a lot about the culture of the people of Rwanda. Expect to be entertained with traditional folk dances and stories.
