Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

After breakfast, you will take off to experience a once in a lifetime adventure! You will encounter Bwindi’s endangered mountain gorillas. This is the absolute highlight for most people on tour in Uganda. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park boasts both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees - the only forest in Africa that can make this claim. It also hosts five other species of primates, 113 species of mammals, over 200 species of butterflies and 360 species of birds. The gorillas you track belong to one of nine habituated family groups who can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day. The time taken to track the gorillas can be as few as 2 hours to as many as 8 hours. Once the gorillas have been located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a truly humbling and emotional experience. After this unforgettable experience, you will head back to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
