Determine the duration of the hike, whose continuous search for food requires a nomadic lifestyle, the gorillas.

And sightings cannot be guaranteed - we saw them, the Mountain Gorillas are wild animals. After an early breakfast we departed to the National Park and began our gorilla trek.
Only approximately 650 remaining, these massive primates are extremely rare. And the beauty of the forest and its inhabitants are fascinating, the anticipation of the exciting experience ahead is invigorating, although the hike can be physically demanding. 500 feet and over rough terrain, at elevations in excess of 7, sometimes more, the tuff trek can take between one and six hours.

And you depart leaving the gorillas to their fragile existence, each strictly regulated 60-minute visit passes all too quickly. Few who have had this rare privilege would disagree. Any fatigue is quickly forgotten, when the gorillas are encountered.
