Gorilla Trekking Experience

Today is the climax of your 5 Days Uganda Safari, wake up early for breakfast then head to the park headquarters with your packed lunch boxes for briefing about gorilla trekking and the right way to behave while in the presence of the gorillas.
With your armed ranger guides, head into the misty forests of Bwindi looking for mountain gorillas. The trek takes approximately 2 to 5 hours or more depending on the movement of the gorillas and where they spent their previous night. When you locate these Great Apes you will spend one hour in their presence, watch them play, feed and each other. You are free to take pictures as long as your flash light is off as it may startle the gorillas.
