This morning you will receive a briefing by the Volcanoes National Park guides on how to behave in the forest and in the presence of mountain gorillas, before entering the park for a gorilla trek which will take you until around midday. Once the gorillas are located all fatigue is forgotten, as the experience is often described as being the most profound natural history experience in the world.
