Gorilla Trekking and Transfer to Kigali for Departure

This activity can take minutes or even hours depending on the location of the assigned gorilla family; once that gorilla family is traced, you will be given an opportunity to spend one hour with the mountain gorillas only standing within a seven-meter distance.
You will enjoy them feeding their young ones, playing around and have a chance of taking photos with mountain gorillas in Uganda.
After this tiresome activity, return to the lodge for relaxation and then embark on the journey through Kigali airport for your departure.
