Gorilla Trekking Rules

GORILLA RULES

 

ON THE WAY TO THE GORILLAS

 

1) Always wash your hands before you head out to the gorillas.

2) A maximum number of eight (8) visitors may visit a group of habituated Mountain gorillas in a day. This minimizes behavioral disturbance to the gorillas and the risk of their exposure to human borne diseases.

3) You will be taken to where the guides left the gorillas the day before. From there you will follow the mountain gorillas’ trail to find them. Look out for the gorillas’ nesting sites along the way!

4) When you reach the Mountain Gorillas, the guides will inform you when to get your cameras ready.

5) Please always keep your voices low. You will also be able to observe the great birdlife and other wildlife in the forest.

6) Do not leave rubbish in the park. Whatever you bring into the forest should be carried back with you.

 

WHEN YOU ARE WITH THE MOUNTAIN GORILLAS

 

1) Keep your voices low at all times. However, it is okay to ask the guide (s) questions.

2) You must stay in a tight group when you are near the mountain gorillas.

3) Keep a minimum of 7 metres (21 feet) from the Mountain Gorillas. This is to protect the Mountain Gorillas from human disease transmission.

4) Do not eat or drink while you are near the mountain gorillas.

5) Sometimes the Mountain Gorillas charge. Follow the guide’s example crouch down slowly. DO NOT look the Mountain Gorilla in the eye. Wait for the Gorillas to pass and do not attempt to run away as this could increase the risk of attack.

6) Do not touch the Mountain Gorillas. They are wild animals.

7) Flash photography is not allowed. When taking pictures, move slowly and carefully.

8) The maximum time visitors are allowed to spend with the Mountain Gorillas is one hour. This is done to limit their disturbance. If the Mountain Gorillas become agitated or nervous, the guide will end the visit early.

9) After the visit, keep your voices low until you are 200 metres away from the Mountain Gorillas.
