General COVID protocols of hand sanitizing and social distancing remain in practice across the duration of a trip. All staff will wear masks at all times, but guests have the choice to remove theirs while in camp. Masks will however remain mandatory while in Brazzaville, as well as while on gorilla tracks, as has always been the case.
