Remember to carry your packed lunch and enough drinking water since you may stay in the forest up to the afternoon in search of these gentle giants in their natural environment. Gorilla tracking exercise is physically demanding but an exciting activity. You may need to hire a porter to assist you during tracking, and these are readily available at the park headquarters. Time allowed to spend with gorillas is 1 hour when you have found them, and this is enough to ask all the questions about their behaviour. Return to the lodge after tracking and freshen up.
In the evening, Batwa pygmies will be invited to entertain you with their dances and storytelling after you have dinner and overnight. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at your lodge.
