Gorilla Trekking and Optional Community Visit

Have an early breakfast, drive for a very short distance to the briefing grounds, you are briefed by the ranger guide about dos and don'ts before you are distributed to your respective gorilla families. You are required to have good hiking shoes, pants, long-sleeved shirts or t-shirts, a rain jacket, enough drinking water, and a snack. The activity takes 2-8 hours depending on where the gorillas are located. Upon arrival to the gorillas you are given 1 good viewing hour. Explore the dense forests of Bwindi, feel the cold breath, and get entertained by the forest birds with a chance of encountering antelopes like the dikers, forest elephants, lots of monkey species such as, back and white colobus monkeys and blue monkeys. Once the gorilla viewing is done get back to your lodge and briefly go a community experience if you still can depending on time.
