Gorilla trekking in Bwindi and overnight at Lake Bunyonyi

Today is the day you’ve been eagerly waiting for, your gorilla trekking adventure! After a hearty breakfast, you’ll depart early in the morning to meet your trekking group and guide at the designated starting point. All trekkers are assigned a specific group of gorillas to visit, depending on which sector you're in. The trek begins with a briefing by your guide, who will explain the guidelines for approaching the gorillas. After hiking for 2 to 8 hours you encounter the gorillas, your guide will allow you to spend one hour in their company. The sight of these majestic creatures, moving gracefully through the forest or resting, is both humbling and exhilarating. You'll likely see members of the group interacting with each other, including playful young ones, protective silverbacks, and the matriarchs of the group. Watching them go about their daily lives in such a natural and unspoiled environment is an unforgettable experience.
