Gorilla Trekking Adventure in Bwindi Forest

Start your day early with breakfast and head to the park headquarters for a briefing by the Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. You will be assigned a gorilla family to track and given trekking guidelines.

The trek can take 2 to 6 hours, depending on where the gorillas are located. Once you find them, you will spend one unforgettable hour observing and photographing these gentle giants in their natural environment. Watching their interactions, feeding habits, and playfulness is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

After the trek, return to your lodge for relaxation. In the afternoon, you may opt for a community visit to interact with the Batwa (Pygmy) people and learn about their traditional lifestyle.
