Challenging

Minimum age: 15


A tough but wonderful nature hike. On your way to the ruins of Dian Fossey’s house, you can observe plenty of wildlife. There are small primates and many different birds. You might even get lucky and spot the gorillas along the mountain slopes.
Dian Fossey alongside Jane Goodall was a pioneering primatologist. She studied the endangered mountain gorillas for 18 years, becoming a leading authority on their physiology and behaviour. Through her research she raised awareness of their vulnerability and promoted conservation initiatives, including setting up the Karisoke Research Foundation. This tour is a great opportunity to pay homage to Dian Fossey.
