Physical Requirements: You must be in good health and prepared for travel in places without medical facilities, be mobile, and able to climb into and out of private aircraft and safari vehicles. You should be capable of walking moderate distances at an easy pace and over rough terrain, and be able to withstand hard riding four-wheel-drive vehicles on dirt roads or rough, bumpy ground. On any given day the duration and the technical difficulty of gorilla tracking can vary due to the location of the gorillas. Typically guests walk for 3-5 hours through the forest on uneven, muddy and wet terrain, crossing streams, trekking up and down gullies, and perhaps walking for up to 1 hour on a steep incline approximately 1 mile, or walking sideways on the mountain. Weather can fluctuate with average temperatures ranging between 60 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. In general, you will most enjoy the opportunities these expeditions have to offer if you are willing to dispense with a few Western amenities and travel with flexibility and a spirit of adventure.

International Airfare: Bushtracks would be happy to assist you in making your air arrangements. Itineraries and prices will be supplied upon request.
