It is, however, criss-crossed by animal trails, allowing ample access for tourists. The mammals include the endangered mountain gorillas, rare golden monkey, elephant, buffalo, bushbuck, and black fronted duiker. The main activity in this park is gorilla trekking. As you slog your way, you realize that it will take quite a while to find these giants. Traveling over such terrain also requires much physical stamina.
