Tracking Mountain Gorillas:

Getting to see gorillas is not easy, nor are you guaranteed to see them. The trek to where the gorilla groups live takes you through very dense vegetation, up steep slopes and can last several hours. Gorillas move around so they aren't all that easy to track. The gorillas you'll be meeting are habituated to humans which is why you are able to get quite close to them.
Some basic rules of tracking gorillas include:
You have to be over 15 years of age
You can not be sick or have any infectious disease
Only one hour is allowed with the gorillas and you have to keep a distance of at least 5 meters
Maximum number of visitors per day is 6-12 people per group
No flash photography is allowed
Trekkers must be fit and well equipped, which includes warm clothing for the wet cool climate high in the mountains.
No eating or drinking in the vicinity of the gorillas
No touching the gorillas (although they may decide to touch you)
Gorilla Permits:
You need an official permit Usually you have to obtain these several months in advance.
