Gorilla tracking experience

Gorilla tracking experience

Have breakfast and then go for gorilla tracking. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park inhabits almost half of the world’s 650 mountain gorillas. Start climbing early with a tracker, even though seeing gorillas depends on their day’s movements. Gorillas are naturally reserved and non-violent animals. It is a memorable and thrilling experience to watch them and possibly photograph these mild giants at a close range. Return to the hotel for lunch and relaxation. Later, you can visit the community and shop for works of art. Return in the evening for dinner and overnight at BirdNest Resort Bunyonyi.
