While here, you may opt to look into African shops to buy some crafts and souvenirs. You'll proceed to Mbarara where you will have your lunch and an optional tour around the Igongo Cultural Museum which is armed with an illustrious history of Western culture and the ancient life of the Ankole Kingdom.

Gorilla Trekking Adventure

You'll have breakfast, meet your guide, and drive to the park headquarters where you will be briefed about the code of conduct during the gorilla trek. Later, you'll start the trek with the guidance of your rangers and porters. This excursion will take between 4 to 8 hours to encounter a habituated family of gorillas. When you come face to face with the habituated family, you will be allowed to be with them for 1 hour as you watch them feed, play, and jump from one tree branch to another. Besides gorillas, you have a chance to see different bird species, butterflies, and golden monkeys. After completing the gorilla trek, you'll be awarded a certificate for completing a gorilla trek in Bwindi. You'll meet your guide and drive back to the accommodation for relaxation. Later in the late afternoon, depending on your energy levels, you can opt to have a guided tour to visit the Batwa community where you'll be taken through their ways of life, culture, a dance performance, and songs.
