It is healthy to always wash your hands before you head out to the mountain gorillas.

No smoking, eating of food or drinking of beverages is allowed in the presence of the Mountain Gorillas.

In case you are feeling sick, or suffering from a contagious disease, please remain behind. An alternative visit will be organized for you or be refunded the money.

In case you feel the urge to sneeze or even cough when close to the gorillas, please turn your head away from them and cap your nose plus mouth so as to reduce the spread of viruses or even bacteria.
