Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Tour Activity

You will have an early breakfast and be driven to the Park Headquarters for a Uganda Wildlife Authority briefing about the rules of Bwindi Gorilla trekking at 7:30 am. After the briefing, you will set off for the Gorilla hunt in the thick jungle.

The jungle is very lively with rich forest sounds. The trek ranges between 2 – 8 hours, after you’ve found the gorillas you’ll be allowed one hour to observe, ask questions, and take photos and video of your encounter. There is no drinking or eating around the gorillas and flash photography is prohibited.

Gorillas share about 98% DNA with us and they are highly suspectable to human diseases so humans should not walk closer than seven meters from the gorillas which mountain gorillas may not adhere to.

After an hour and two minutes of your unforgettable Bwindi gorilla trekking tour, you’ll be asked to trek back down and return to your lodge after the trek.
You can then relax, share your experiences, and enjoy dinner at the lodge.
