Once you find the family your trekking, an hour is give for you to observe and take photos around these apes.
Gorilla habituation
Gorilla habituation is the best option for primatologists but is much more expensive. You get to spend 4 hours with mountain gorillas unlike the normal gorilla trekking experience that affords you only an hour around these gorillas.
Gorilla habituation is the process of making mountain gorillas get used to human presence. This is done by researchers and scientists for a period of 2-3 years until gorillas pass a mocking exercise then the family can be open to the public for trekking.
