Gorilla Trekking Experience and transfer to lake bunyonyi-canoe ride

After an early morning breakfast, you will head for a briefing where we'll meet the excellent local guides and trackers who will give a briefing on the etiquette of gorilla trekking.

Trekking may take between 1 and 6 hours, depending on the location of the family and altitudes, which are in excess of 7500 feet. The terrain is rough and muddy. Although the hike is physically demanding, the beauty of the forest and the surrounding scenery make the trek worthwhile. It is recommended that you take plenty of water with you on the trek.
