Day 2: Gorilla Trekking Day!

After your breakfast at the lodge your driver guide will transfer you to the park headquarters where a game ranger will brief you at 8:00 am on the dos and don’ts of gorilla trekking. You will then be lead by the park rangers, through the gorilla trek paths in the thick Bwindi Impenetrable rain forests searching for the giant mountain Gorillas.

Once the mountain gorillas are found you will have 1 hour of regulated time to view these beautiful primates plus taking photographs. Take a picnic lunch and at least 2 litres of water with you.
