Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi

After breakfast, prepare for the trekking which begins at 8:00 am with a briefing from the UWA staff. Ensure that you take a rain jacket, drinking water, snacks, jungle boots, etc. The guides will lead you inside the jungle to see your allocated group of shy primates. Do not forget to take your lunch boxes and all the necessary gear to track the rare mountain gorilla. This is perhaps one of the most exciting wildlife experiences on earth. The tracking may take between 2 and 6 hours but it's well worth the effort.

The afternoon is spent on a village walk. The Buhoma village walk gives you a great opportunity to see how the people surrounding the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest live. It is a great way to support the local community in a direct way. The walk begins at Buhoma Haven Lodge with your guide and is most informative and rewarding to the average visitor. It will amaze you how resourceful the local people are as you see and learn their ways. Dinner and overnight stay at Buhoma Lodge.
