Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable NP

Bwindi is home to approximately 459 mountain gorillas, nearly half the global population. These critically endangered primates live in stable family groups led by dominant Silverbacks and are highly social, intelligent, and gentle. Unlike other gorilla species, mountain gorillas do not survive in captivity, making in-situ conservation essential.

Early morning transfer to the trailhead in the national park, where you will join your group for a briefing before setting off on the trek. As the gorillas move constantly searching for food, the trek duration will vary, and the anticipation and the beauty of the forest make it all worthwhile. After the gorillas have been located, you will spend an amazing hour in their company, returning to your lodge later in the afternoon and spending the rest of the day at leisure.
Breakfast, lunch, and an overnight stay will be at Ride 4 a Woman.
