If you do spot them up in the trees, the sight is picturesque and memorable. From Ishasha, continue on the final leg of the journey to your accommodations situated at the edge of Bwindi.

The beauty of this rainforest is spectacular, offering a dramatic, steeply forested landscape that is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails that allow access to tourists. The time taken and the terrain vary depending on the movements of these great primates. Once you have located a gorilla group, you will be allowed one hour in their presence. The thrill of spending time observing these gentle but endangered giants is unforgettable. Later, you will return to your accommodations and rest after the strenuous trek. If interested, you can go out again to encounter the local community (optional, cost not included).
