Gorilla Trekking and Batwa Community Visit

After breakfast, you head to the park headquarters for a short briefing from the ranger guide. You will be divided into groups of up to eight trekkers, the maximum number allowed to visit a gorilla family each day. Gorilla trekking can take anywhere from 1–6 hours as you move through the thick forest. Once the gorillas are located, you spend one memorable hour with them, watching them play and care for their young. After lunch and some time to relax, you visit the Batwa community. The Batwa are the original inhabitants of the forest who were later resettled outside the park. You will enjoy traditional performances and have a closer look at their way of life. You then return to the lodge in the evening to prepare for departure the next day.
