You will be hiking for between one and six hours to see where the gorillas live. Not to worry, every moment will be worth it for the images! The length will vary based on the location the gorilla was last seen in the jungle and how far away they are from the start. Your fitness level also links into this – although the guides will try and recommend the shortest route for all tourists, there is still a bit of walking to do. I can promise you though, as soon as you see your first gorilla you will forget all about your tiredness and just focus on the moment. That first encounter with a gorilla is something you will remember for the rest of your life.
