Mountain Gorilla Trekking Adventure

After an early breakfast with your packed lunch, you will head to the park offices for a detailed briefing on the rules and guidelines for your gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. You will then be transferred to the starting point of your trek, where your unforgettable journey into the forest begins.

Gorilla family allocation is based on factors such as fitness, age, and interests, although it cannot be guaranteed since the gorillas move freely within the forest. You are encouraged to share your preferences with your guide, who will do his best to request a suitable gorilla family before the trek begins.

After this once-in-a-lifetime experience, you will begin your return journey to Kigali, marking the end of your incredible safari.
