After an early breakfast, you’ll head to the Bwindi park headquarters for a detailed pre-trek briefing led by Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. You’ll then begin your gorilla trek, hiking through Bwindi’s dense, misty forest in search of a specific habituated gorilla family.
The trek can take between 2 to 6 hours, depending on the gorillas’ movements. Once you find them, you’ll spend one life-changing hour quietly observing these majestic creatures watching as they feed, groom, play, and interact in their natural habitat.
After the trek, your driver will transfer you to Lake Bunyonyi, one of the most beautiful and tranquil places in Uganda. Known as the “Place of many little birds,” Bunyonyi offers dramatic scenery, terraced hillsides, and a refreshing atmosphere.
Relax at your lodge by the lakeside, or take a gentle walk to enjoy the views.
