Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi

After an early breakfast, proceed to the designated gorilla trekking briefing centre. Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers will explain the trekking rules, safety guidelines, and responsible gorilla-viewing practices.
Enter the dense rainforest with experienced guides and begin searching for a habituated mountain gorilla family. The trek can take several hours, depending on the gorillas’ location, terrain, and weather conditions.
Once the gorillas are located, you will generally be allowed up to one hour to observe them under the applicable regulations. Watch these magnificent primates as they feed, groom, rest, and interact in their natural habitat.
