3 Day Gorilla Trekking

Day1: Drive to Bwindi Forest National Park

After breakfast, your driver guide will pick you from your overnight hotel and drive you to Bwindi national park. This is the home of the mountain gorillas. The drive is quite long but rewarding as you have the chance of seeing interesting sites like the undulating highlands of Kigezi, Kisoro, by pass several monkeys, rich bird life, friendly people and so much more. This drive is about 8 to 9 hours for over 500km and have meals enroute. When you finally get to Bwindi forest, get into your room and relax. Enjoy your dinner and overnight at the lodge of your preference.

Day 2: Gorilla trekking

As you start off your day with briefing at the ranger station, you are escorted into the forest by a ranger guide. On the way, you may have the chance of spotting other primates like the blue monkeys, vervet monkeys, olive baboons, grey checked mangabey, black and white colobus and several birds that roam around the forest. While you walk, you bypass a number of streams, ask the ranger guide to make you a walking stick in case you cannot support yourself anymore. Beware of the creeping plants and water dripping from the tree leaves. Remember it may rain any time because Bwindi Impenetrable is an equatorial rain forest and also leaves fall and cover the ground to keep it wet and soggy throughout the year so be conscience. When you finally get to see the gorillas, enjoy there presence but at a distance of about 7 meters and do not feed them. Watch them search for food in the vines and play with each other. After this fantastic hour, return to your lodge.
