Hi guys thanks for trekking these gorillas in Rwanda because you supported us in conserving these gentle apes for more years to come please come again much love from Rwanda
baby apes are the cutest...so innocent...playful and curious...they want to be friends..especially the gorillas and baby orangutans..would love to spend a season working/caring with them...and especially meeting the people who seem so nice...
Rwanda was an amazing experience and to see these animals in their natural world and also the conservation effort around them was a real privilege. Thanks for the comments.
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing. Was wonderful to see the experience of gorilla trekking and all of your incredible upclose footage. Love your vlogs!
This video is truly inspiring. It beautifully showcases the resilience of mountain gorillas and the incredible efforts of conservationists to protect these magnificent animals. It’s a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving our natural world. 🌍🦍
I hope it has had a positive impression. Not everyone is in agreement with this type of interaction. But overall the impact of eco-tourism is generally a positive one. Thanks for watching.
Hi. Glad you enjoyed the video. I was using the Canon RF70-200 which is an f2.8 lens so very good for low light situations. I think the 400mm i took was a little over the top. The zoom lens was far more useful.
Hi, thank you for a great video. We have a trip to see the gorillas also in February. I have one question - how slippery did you find the walk. I have been thinking about using microspikes on my boots for extra grip. Thanks, Nick
Okay - I'm a bit shocked. So the permit is $1500 per PERSON and for an hour? So my family of 3 = $4500 for one hour oO. So.... people recommend at least 3 days... that is $4500 x 3 = $13,500 for 3 hours? Am I correct assuming this? I'm shocked and want to cry. This has been on my bucket list for years and years. But I do not think I can afford this even if I ever retire. Eitherway how do you go on about finding an Operator?
Thanks for sharing a fantastic experience. I am a professional studio musician but I consider the soundtrack in this video detracts from the peaceful context. Just my personal opinion. Cheers.
It was around 3-4 hours. I've done both trekking in Uganda and Rwanda and it was the roughly the same amount of time. But it really does depend on where the gorillas are that will determine how long the trek will be. It's different for all groups every day. Hope that helps.
I've done the Gorilla trek in Bwindi and it's just as good as Rwanda. Quite challenging in places but well worth it for the experience. Also, Uganda offers a wider safari experience than compared to Rwanda with game drives in Queen Elizabeth national park and Chimpanzee trekking in Kalinzu Central Forest Reserve.
I don’t get going into their territory, but if it provides a living for much needed jobs and helps preserve their habitats then I suppose it’s for good
Thanks for the comment. Our guide was telling us that it's quite common to see the gorillas in the farm fields close to where people live and work. So i guess their territory is everywhere. We as humans need to learn how to co-exist with the wildlife around us.
gorilla s are fanastic animals, there like humans beans. they are part of human bean family. best of luck with wild life gorilla a in Africa for the Future.
Hi. Yes the porters were tipped above the usual rate. They are an essential part in the overall experience and i fully recommend anyone who does this activity to hire a porter.
If you really want to help the gorillas stop being self centered and leave a huge donation and DON'T hike out to where they are trying to get away from humans and development. Leave them alone. Send money.❤

These guides have an awesome job. I couldn’t imagine spending almost every day with gorillas. That would be amazing.
Glad you like them!

Thanks for the comment. They do a great job and they also love what they do.
I’m currently debating whether to go gorila trekking or not and I think this video helped me make up my mind!

Seeing mountain gorillas is absolutely stunning. loved every bite
Thanks for taking the time to view my video. Very much appreciated.
What a great video!!!! Thanks a lot! May I ask what zoom lens did you use? 200 mm?

Wow, very nice! We did the track two times and this video is very accurate and shows how the experience is. And it's awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video you have inspired me to go here
Thanks for watching and i hope you have a great time if you decide to visit.
Hey, I'm in your video at 0:49
This is on our bucket list. What company did you use?
Hi. We used Africa Adventure Vacations whi are based in Uganda. Hope that helps.

Very interesting to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh we’re doing this next year for my 50th! Were starting to plan now!
Hope you have an amazing trip. Thanks for watching.
I’ve only recently become interested in gorillas. I hope to make this trip one day very soon!
You should!

I am in the process of planning this trip trying to decide between the 1 or 3 day. Will you please inform how much you paid if you did a 3 day?
I don't know how much it will be as i'm not a tour operator. Just search online for quotes.

Is this a one day trek
Espectacular
Thanks for watching
That's bad ass to see them gorillas up close
It certainly was. Thanks for the comment.
How long is the trekking. Thanks 🙏🏽
It was around 3-4 hours. I've done both trekking in Uganda and Rwanda and it was the roughly the same amount of time. But it really does depend on where the gorillas are that will determine how long the trek will be. It's different for all groups every day. Hope that helps.
Perfect
Thanks for the comment. Hope you enjoyed the video.
YES IT IS!!!!
Oh amazing how much cost this Tours?
It's a lot of money for Rwanda. The Gorilla trek permit is $1500. For Uganda and Congo the permit is much cheaper.
Uganda is just 800USD in two national parks ie Bwindi Impenetrable national park and Mgahinga Gorilla N.p
I've done the Gorilla trek in Bwindi and it's just as good as Rwanda. Quite challenging in places but well worth it for the experience. Also, Uganda offers a wider safari experience than compared to Rwanda with game drives in Queen Elizabeth national park and Chimpanzee trekking in Kalinzu Central Forest Reserve.

Hello? How are you I have question to ask you?
Ok you can ask a question
I have completed my studies since 2024 then I am searching a job like working over there can you help me to get job?
So I live in Rwanda
I don’t get going into their territory, but if it provides a living for much needed jobs and helps preserve their habitats then I suppose it’s for good

I did this in June 2023 in Rwanda and yes, it was worth $1500! It was an amazing experience 🤗🥰
Thanks for the comment. Glad you had a great experience.
How far is this place?
This tour took around 3-4 hours to the gorillas and back. Hope that helps.
Great video!!! How long are the treks in this park?
The gorilla trek can be many hours if the animals are deep in to the forest. Maybe only two hours if they are closer.
gorilla s are fanastic animals, there like humans beans. they are part of human bean family.
best of luck with wild life gorilla a in Africa for the Future.
Thanks for the comment
i hope you guys are tipping these guides and helpers....20 dollars each per man/woman is the minimum
Hi. Yes the porters were tipped above the usual rate. They are an essential part in the overall experience and i fully recommend anyone who does this activity to hire a porter.
Drop the background music
Thanks for the feedback.
I WOULD LOVE TOO DO IT BUT JUST A DREAM , IF I HAD THE SPARE CASH , WOULD GO IN A HEARTBEAT 💓 💗 🎶
To foreigners yes, it worths it

tourism is good but 1500 usd is a whole lot for this experience.
It would be worth every penny, except, I ‘ll rather watch from the comfort of my living room 😂
But no trees there. How does gorillas enjoy there. Its just like a bush
That's where they live and are actually increasing in numbers.

Thanks for the comment!
Man the video would have been so much better without music!! Dang
If you dont like it, film your own.
Why would it be better without music?
Not worth, to be honest
No need for all these fish eye shots
Such annoying camera work. Just let that shit roll bro.
My dreams come true see this video thank you brother from indian guy 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the comments and also for viewing the video. Glad you liked it.
