Day 3:Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Gorilla Tracking

After an early breakfast, drive to the designated headquarters of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and meet your comrades for a briefing on Gorilla Tracking. Then, the armed ranger guides will lead you into the jungle to track one gorilla family living deep in the forest. The trekking can take two to seven hours. After spotting the family, you will have one hour to observe the big family enjoying their daily activities. Then, return to the lodge for lunch. The rest of the day is yours to rest and participate in the optional activities offered by your lodge.

Those looking for a deeper touch with these giant apes may choose the Gorilla Habituation tour instead of the Gorilla Tracking to spend four hours around them, watching, taking photos, and learning about their habits.
