Gorilla tracking & transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

You are up at 5.00am and enjoy your breakfast. After your breakfast, be ready for the 2-hour drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park - arriving at 7.30am. With packed lunch in your carry-on, your guide will deliver you to the park's HQ before 8:00 am for registration and a briefing. The guides will then take you through the bush, pushing your way through the undergrowth, parting creepers, to track the gorillas. When you finally locate the family that you are tracking, sit in the forest among the gorillas, listening to them grumble to each other, and marvel at the sheer size of the dominant male - the silverback. It is an extraordinary feeling sitting in the dense forest in the knowledge you are in the presence of the few remaining Mountain Gorillas in the wild. After the mandatory 1 hour is up, you will be led back to the starting point where your guide will be waiting to commence the transfer to the picturesque Lake Bunyonyi. On arrival, check-in at Bunyonyi Overland Resort.
