Remember to pack your raincoat, boots, and some drinking water. It’s also advised that you be medically fit before you embark on this tedious yet exciting exercise. About 5 Primate Species, 113 species of mammals, 200 butterflies & 300 birds can be found in the impenetrable forest. There are nine habituated Gorilla groups/ families and each group will be tracked by not more than a group of 8 tourists.
