You will trek through thick creepers and undergrowth with your guides to find the gorillas. This can take anywhere between 1 and 8 hours. The steeply forested landscape is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails, allowing access to tourists. You will have 1 hour to spend with the gorillas once sighted.

Visit Lake Bunyonyi and Transfer Back to Entebbe

You will transfer to Lake Bunyonyi, said to be one of the most beautiful places in Western Uganda. It is the second-deepest lake in Africa (900 meters) and also one of the few places in the country where it is considered safe to swim as it is bilharzia free.
