Gorilla trekking and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi with a scenic drive

After an early morning breakfast, you will head to the ranger’s post for a briefing on the dos and don’ts of gorilla trekking. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park feels like stepping into a lost world, unchanged for millennia. The journey is not easy through the thick vegetation, but the sounds of a gorilla family breaking branches ahead will quicken your pulse. As you follow the trackers, the moment will come when you finally set eyes on one of our closest relatives, and all your fatigue will vanish. You will be allowed to stay with the gorillas for one hour before returning to the guesthouse to check out. You will then head to Lake Bunyonyi, known as the "Switzerland of Africa" and famous for its lush, terraced hills, 29 islands (each with its own unique story) and over 200 bird species. You will check into your lodge and if time allows you can enjoy a canoe ride at extra cost before returning for dinner and relaxation.
