Day 2

Gorilla Trekking Adventure in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

This day marks the highlight of your journey, a truly unforgettable experience. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, you’ll take a short 6-minute drive to the park headquarters in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for your briefing. The session often begins with a traditional dance, followed by important guidelines from the rangers. You will then be placed into small groups of up to 8 people, and each group is assigned a specific gorilla family. The duration of the trek varies depending on the location of the gorillas, typically ranging from 4 to 8 hours. Once you find them, you’ll spend a strictly limited one hour observing these incredible primates in their natural habitat, with wearing a face mask being mandatory. After this extraordinary encounter, you’ll trek back and return to your lodge, where you can relax and reflect on the experience.
