Gorilla trekking - Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

You will wake up very early for breakfast and then proceed to the headquarters for registration and a briefing about your tour by one of the rangers. The guides will then take you through the bush pushing their way through the undergrowth and thick creepers, to track the gorillas. Once found, you will be given one full hour to spend with these majestic primates as they play around the trees. It is an extraordinary feeling sitting in the dense rainforest knowing you are with a few of the last remaining mountain gorillas. After your trek you will return to camp to relax, have dinner and turn in for the night.
