Morning Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Forests

On this day, after your breakfast, you will go to the headquarters for a briefing by the experienced ranger guides. Then you will enter the ancient Bwindi forest in search of a habituated mountain gorilla family.
You will follow forest trails beneath towering trees and dense vegetation, listening for the sounds of the forest as your trackers lead the way.

Then comes the moment you've travelled all this way for—the first sight of the gorillas.
You will spend precious time observing their behaviour and family interactions.
You will then return to your lodge for a well-earned afternoon and evening at leisure.
