Visitor tip
Plan to spend extended time at the gorilla habitat viewing area - visitors report the gorillas frequently perform engaging behaviors like playing and running, and you'll want flexibility to capture good photos or videos when they move into more visible sections of the habitat.
Best time
Visit during peak gorilla activity times when they're most likely to be active in the open areas of their habitat rather than retreating to less visible parts - this maximizes viewing opportunities and photo quality.
