In case of any personal interests in trekking speak to the park ranger and he will try to request for the gorilla family of your choice before you start the trek into the forest. Gorilla trekking can be strenuous and a certain level of fitness is required.  Gorilla trekking is considered a full day activity but it can take place between a few hours and a full day depending on where the family will be found that day.
