Gorilla Trekking and Relaxing at Lake Bunyonyi

Start the day with one of Uganda’s most unforgettable wildlife experiences: gorilla trekking.
After a short briefing, head into the forest with your guide to track one of the habituated mountain gorilla families. Along the way, your guide will share insights into gorilla behavior, social structure, and the efforts to protect them.
Once you find them, spend one remarkable hour observing the gorillas up close — watching them feed, play, and interact in their natural habitat. This rare encounter is a powerful highlight for many travelers to Uganda.
After the trek, continue your journey to Lake Bunyonyi, one of the deepest lakes in Africa, known for its scenic beauty and dotted with terraced hills and small islands. Settle in and enjoy the peaceful lakeside atmosphere.
