On the trekking day, every group of 8 people is assigned to gorilla families to trek. Mountain gorillas are used to move deep into the forest searching for food, this makes it difficult to allocate a gorilla family before. Every evening, park rangers or trackers go deep into the forest to mark where different gorilla families will sleep, and then the next day, they go very early in the morning to check on them, and they go back to the park office to tell them about where to find mountain gorilla families on that day.
