Gorilla Trekking Experience & Batwa Community Visit at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll drive about six minutes to the park headquarters for a briefing, starting with a traditional dance and general orientation.
You’ll then be divided into groups of eight, assigned gorilla families, and begin a trek lasting four to eight hours. Gorilla viewing is limited to one hour, with face masks required. Afterwards, return to your lodge for lunch & relax.

As evening falls, head out for the Batwa Cultural Experience: join in traditional dances, learn forest survival skills, and hear stories passed down by Uganda’s indigenous “Keepers of the Jungle.” Later return to your lodge.
