Tracking the amazing mountain gorillas

This is the day that only one who has experienced it can describe. Today you get intimate and close with a family of the endangered mountain gorillas of Uganda. Your one hour encounter will allow you see mother gorillas play and teach their young ones. After the trek, you are now officially one of the few in the whole world to have this intimate relationship with the mountain gorillas of Uganda. In the afternoon take a well-deserved break. Enjoy the afternoon reliving the memories of the day and enjoy the quiet jungle sounds. There is an option to take a village walk through the community and meet the locals as they go about their work. This may depend on the time you return from the tour.
