A 2 Days Gorilla Trekking Safari is an unforgettable adventure. 
Walking through Rwanda’s dense forests, you’ll hear leaves rustling. 
Then, you spot them—mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. But 
before you go, it helps to understand their behavior.
Gorillas Live in Families
Gorillas are social animals. They live in groups called troops, led by a 
dominant silverback. He makes decisions, protects the group, and 
keeps peace.
A troop includes females, young gorillas, and sometimes a few 
males. Baby gorillas are playful, tumbling and climbing just like 
human toddlers. Watching them interact is heartwarming.
Gorillas groom each other to build trust. It’s their way of bonding 
and staying clean.
How Gorillas Communicate
Gorillas don’t just use sounds. They communicate with body 
language, facial expressions, and touch.
Soft grunts signal reassurance. Loud hoots show excitement. And 
that famous chest-beating? It’s not always aggression. Silverbacks 
do it to display strength, but younger gorillas beat their chests when 
playing.
Eating Habits
Gorillas are herbivores. They eat leaves, stems, fruit, and bark. 
They are also picky. You might see one stripping a branch and 
tossing parts it doesn’t like.
In Rwanda’s forests, food is everywhere. That’s why gorillas spend 
most of their time eating and resting.
Playful Learning
Young gorillas love to play. They wrestle, chase each other, and 
swing from branches. It’s how they learn social skills and build 
strength.
Even adults play sometimes. It helps them bond and keeps the 
troop close. Watching these moments is a highlight of any trek.
How Gorillas React to Visitors
Mountain gorillas in Rwanda are habituated. This means they are 
used to people. But they are still wild animals.
Tips for a Great Trek
• Follow your guide’s instructions.
• Keep a safe distance (about 7 meters).
• Move slowly and avoid loud noises.
• Wear neutral-colored clothing.
• Bring water, a rain jacket, and good hiking 
boots.
A 2 Days Gorilla Trekking Safari is a once-in-a-lifetime 
experience. Every moment in the forest is exciting. Every encounter 
with a gorilla is magical.
