Gorilla and chimpanzees are wild animals and while they have been habituated to seeing humans, sightings can never be guaranteed. However, almost all visitors who purchase a permit will get to see them, the question is how long they may have to trek to find the assigned family. Every day, visitors are assigned a gorilla family to spend time with. The gorilla trackers will go earlier in the morning to find the family, based on the sightings from previous days and the knowledge of the animals, and when they find them, they will communicate with your ranger to facilitate the trek.
