Gorilla Trekking Adventure in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

You'll start the day early, ready for an unforgettable experience. After breakfast, head to the park station where rangers will brief you on what to expect during your gorilla trek. Be sure to bring plenty of water, a packed lunch, and consider hiring a porter to help with the steep terrain.

Accompanied by expert guides and two armed rangers, you'll hike into the thick forest of Bwindi in search of mountain gorillas. Once you find them, you’ll spend a magical hour quietly observing these incredible animals in their natural environment watching how they interact, feed, and care for one another.

After the trek, return to Lake Mulehe Safari Lodge for a peaceful evening. You can take a dip in the pool, go for a canoe ride, or simply relax by the lake and take in the views.
