Day 3

Gorilla Tracking in the Tropical Rainforest

Gorilla Tracking in the Tropical Rainforest

After an early breakfast and briefing from the guides of Uganda Wildlife Authority, set off for gorilla tracking in the forest sanctuary. The activity starts at 8.00 am and you'll join the other members according to the distribution of the gorilla families, only eight per family each day. You need to carry with you a packed lunch, enough drinking water, a rain jacket in case of rain and trekking boots while the rangers will provide you with a walking stick. If you are not sure of your fitness, you might hire a porter and pay him a tip to help you carry the bag. It is unpredictable how long will take to find the primates as they freely move into the forest. However, the encounter with the gorillas, lasting for about one hour, certainly is a rewarding experience and an unforgettable one. After the trekking, you'll go back to the lodge for leisure.
