The ranger guide will discuss some gorilla trekking tips, such as no flash photography, and then break you into several gorilla trekking groups.
Depending on the location of the gorilla family you will be trekking, the guide will take you to the trailhead for the designated gorilla group.

Day 3: Departure.(Rwanda gorillas)
After the incredible Rwanda gorilla trekking excursion yesterday, you can now immerse yourself in Rwandan history and culture by visiting the Gorilla Guardians Village. Some of the residents of this cultural village were previous poachers who relied on the forest for existence.
This cultural village makes a significant contribution to mountain gorilla conservation since they may earn money by sharing their culture rather than poaching. After this encounter, proceed to your hotel or airport.
