Mountain Gorilla Trekking and Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

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.

Once the gorillas are found, visitors are generally allowed up to one hour to observe them under the applicable regulations. Watch these magnificent primates feed, groom, rest, and interact in their natural habitat.
