Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi and Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

You will have an early morning breakfast at 6:30 am and with packed Lunch you will move to the Park headquarters to join other trackers in a briefing about the gorilla trekking rules at 7:30 am. You will trek through thick creepers and undergrowth with your guides to find the Gorillas, which can take you 1-8 hours.

You will will stay with Gorillas sometime once sited and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi.
