Day 2

Bwindi

Bwindi

Begin your gorilla trek in the early morning, and set off into the tangled and mist-shrouded forests with guides and trackers who are very experienced at locating the gorillas by finding the nest the family had used the previous night. The search for these majestic animals goes through a thick, untamed rainforest, where you'll be scrambling over mossy rocks and through deep undergrowth. It can be arduous at times, but the encounter is worth the effort. Watching gorillas in their natural habitat is a memory that will last a lifetime. The experienced ranger guides will willingly share with you a lot of information about the history and lifestyle of the gorillas. After spending an hour with the gorillas, we head back to the lodge and relax.
