RULES
One of the most important points of our rules is the protection of primates from respiratory infections transmitted by humans. Strict health and safety rules apply when visiting habituated gorillas.
All rules will be explained to you by a member of our staff before you enter the Park. You can view our visiting rules here: VISIT > MEET THE GORILLAS.
In order to support the communities surrounding the Park and the work of its management unit, certain fees apply to all visitors.
ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
"Take only photos, leave only footprints."
Please refrain from picking fruits, plants, or nuts while observing the gorillas, as they may later consume fruits that you have touched.
Gorillas are naturally very curious; please do not leave bags or other items unattended in the forest near the gorillas.
Everything brought into the forest must be taken out again; please do not litter.
The Park does its best to limit the exposure of wildlife to disease, so you will be asked to use the restroom before heading out to search for gorillas. In case of emergency, your guide has bags that you can use to carry all human waste (including toilet paper and feces) from the forest to the camp latrines. It is forbidden to urinate within 100 meters of the gorillas or in a water source. A small hole 30 cm deep must be dug and the urine covered with soil.
You may feel the need to spit, cough, sneeze or blow your nose while tracking the gorillas. If you cannot control this urge, you are asked to turn away from the gorillas and cover your mouth and nose with the crook of your elbow rather than your hand, or sneeze into your clothing.
For your safety and that of the forest animals, please do not attempt to touch, feed, or interact with the gorillas or any other wild animals you may encounter.
Following the gorillas can be physically demanding, and you may need a break to eat something. No problem, just let your guide know and make sure you are at least 100 meters away from any animals when eating or drinking, and that you take all food scraps, utensils, and food packaging with you.
Speak as little as possible in the forest. If you need to speak, do so in a low voice and avoid making loud or sudden noises.
Remain relaxed and humble, and avoid sudden movements. The animals you will see in their natural habitat have sometimes seen more tourists than you have seen gorillas!
